The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 37.13, subdivision 1, to require the State Agricultural Society to reimburse the cities of St. Paul and Falcon Heights for specific expenses incurred due to events held on the fairgrounds. These expenses include costs related to public safety, police, fire, emergency medical services, traffic management, sanitation, and neighborhood clean-up and restoration.

This legislative change emphasizes the financial responsibility of the State Agricultural Society towards local municipalities, ensuring that the costs associated with hosting events do not fall solely on the cities. The bill aims to foster a collaborative relationship between the society and the cities, promoting accountability and support for local services impacted by the society's activities.
