Independent School District No. 197, West St. Paul-Mendota Heights-Eagan fund transfer authorized.

HF 3470 authorizes Independent School District No. 197 (West St. Paul-Mendota Heights-Eagan) to transfer any remaining funds from its building construction account to its operating capital account by June 30, 2026. This transfer would allow the district to use construction funds for ongoing operational needs without needing to reduce property tax levies. The bill specifically overrides standard requirements in Minnesota education finance laws that typically require such transfers to be offset by tax reductions. This procedural change directly affects only District 197's financial management, enabling flexibility in fund allocation. The bill is currently in the introduction stage with no further legislative actions recorded.
