This bill establishes a new program for state fairgrounds public safety and municipal services aid, specifically designed to support the cities of Falcon Heights and St. Paul. The aid is intended to cover costs incurred by these cities due to events at the State Fairgrounds, including public safety services, public works expenses, and neighborhood cleanup efforts. For the year 2026, Falcon Heights will receive $75,000 and St. Paul will receive $500,000. From 2027 onward, these amounts will be adjusted annually based on inflation, calculated using the implicit price deflator for government consumption and expenditures.

The bill outlines the process for certifying and distributing these funds, requiring the commissioner of revenue to certify the aid amounts by August 1 each year and to make payments on July 20. Additionally, it includes an appropriation clause to ensure that sufficient funds are allocated from the general fund to cover the aid payments. The provisions of this bill will take effect starting with the aid payments due in 2026.
