This bill establishes a new program for state fairgrounds public safety and municipal services aid, specifically for 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, while St. Paul will receive $500,000. Starting in 2027, the aid amounts will be adjusted annually based on inflation, calculated using the implicit price deflator for government consumption and expenditures.

The bill also outlines the process for certifying and distributing these funds. The commissioner of revenue is responsible for certifying the aid amounts by August 1 each year and making payments to the cities on July 20. Additionally, it includes an appropriation clause, ensuring that sufficient funds are allocated from the general fund to cover the aid payments. The provisions of this bill will take effect for aids payable starting in 2026.
