Minnesota State High School League tickets and admissions sales tax savings extended.

HF 2988 extends the tax exemption for Minnesota State High School League event tickets and admissions, and continues the annual transfer of associated sales tax savings to a nonprofit foundation. The bill amends statutes to maintain the exemption for league events (sec. 297A.70, subd. 11a) and the requirement for the League to transfer those savings to the foundation (sec. 128C.24) until July 1, 2037. The foundation uses these funds to award grants, prioritizing athletic fee scholarships for students, while considering gender balance, school size, and geographic location. This directly affects high school students participating in league activities by preserving access to financial support through the existing program. The extension applies to all future sales and purchases after the bill's enactment date.
