§ 62J.015 PURPOSE.
Status: in_force

The legislature finds that the staggering growth in health care costs is having a devastating effect on the health and cost of living of Minnesota residents. The legislature further finds that the number of uninsured and underinsured residents is growing each year and that the cost of health care coverage for our insured residents is increasing annually at a rate that far exceeds the state's overall rate of inflation.

The legislature further finds that it must enact immediate and intensive cost containment measures to limit the growth of health care expenditures, reform insurance practices, and finance a plan that offers access to affordable health care for our permanent residents by capturing dollars now lost to inefficiencies in Minnesota's health care system.

The legislature further finds that controlling costs is essential to the maintenance of the many factors contributing to the quality of life in Minnesota: our environment, education system, safe communities, affordable housing, provision of food, economic vitality, purchasing power, and stable population.

It is, therefore, the intent of the legislature to lay a new foundation for the delivery and financing of health care in Minnesota and to call this new foundation the MinnesotaCare Act.

Status: in_force

§ Subdivision 1. Adjustments for consolidation. If all of the area included in two or more local governmental units is consolidated, merged, or otherwise combined to constitute a single governmental unit, the levy limit base for the resulting governmental unit in the first levy year in which the consolidation is effective shall be equal to (1) the highest tax rate in any of the merging governmental units in the previous year multiplied by the net tax capacity of all the merging governmental units in the previous year, minus (2) the sum of all levies in the merging governmental units in the previous year that qualify as special levies under section 275.70, subdivision 5 .

§ Subd. 2. Adjustments for annexation. If a local governmental unit increases its tax base through annexation of an area which is not the area of an entire local governmental unit and the area of annexation contains a population of 50 or more, the levy limit base of the local governmental unit in the first year in which the annexation is effective shall be equal to its levy limit base for the current levy year multiplied by the ratio of the net tax capacity in the local governmental unit after the annexation compared to its net tax capacity before the annexation.

§ Subd. 3. Adjustments for changes in service levels. If a local governmental unit, as a result of an annexation agreement, has different tax rates in various parts of the jurisdiction due to different service levels, it may petition the commissioner of revenue to adjust its levy limits established under section 275.71 .

The local governmental unit shall provide the commissioner with any information the commissioner deems necessary in making the levy limit adjustment.

§ Subd. 4. Transfer of governmental functions. If a function or service of one local governmental unit is transferred to another local governmental unit, the levy limits established under section 275.71 must be adjusted by the commissioner of revenue in such manner so as to fairly and equitably reflect the reduced or increased property tax burden resulting from the transfer. The aggregate of the adjusted limitations must not exceed the aggregate of the limitations prior to adjustment.

§ Subd. 5. Effective date for levy limits purposes. Annexations, mergers, and shifts in services and functional responsibilities that are effective by June 30 of the levy year are included in the calculation of the levy limit for that levy year. Annexations, mergers, and shifts in services and functional responsibilities that are effective after June 30 of a levy year are not included in the calculation of the levy limit until the subsequent levy year.
