The bill amends Minnesota Statutes to allow businesses to collect tourism improvement district charges from purchasers. Specifically, it modifies the definition of "sales price" in section 297A.61 to include service charges imposed under section 428B.03, provided that these charges are collected from the purchaser and separately stated on the relevant sales documents. Additionally, it clarifies that businesses may choose to collect the service charge imposed by municipalities for improvements benefiting businesses within tourism improvement districts, as long as the charge is clearly indicated on receipts or invoices.

The bill also establishes effective dates for these changes, with the amendments to section 297A.61 being retroactively effective for sales and purchases made after June 30, 2025, and the changes to section 428B.02 being retroactively effective from July 1, 2025. This legislation aims to streamline the process for businesses in tourism improvement districts to manage service charges while ensuring transparency for consumers.
