Highway fund permissible uses specified.
HF 1630 specifies which activities highway funds cannot be used for in Minnesota. The bill amends Minnesota Statutes to explicitly prohibit using highway user tax distribution funds or trunk highway funds for items like Bureau of Criminal Apprehension labs, Explore Minnesota tourism kiosks, driver education programs, electric vehicle infrastructure, and personnel costs for the governor's office. It creates a detailed list of prohibited expenditures, including specific programs and activities such as tourist information centers, parades, and soft body armor purchases. This bill directly affects state agencies and departments that manage highway funds by restricting their spending options.
