Payment of certain indirect costs from legacy funds prohibited.

HF 529 prohibits recipients of certain state legacy funds from using those funds to pay for general overhead costs like rent, utilities, or building maintenance. The bill specifically targets four funds: parks and trails, outdoor heritage, clean water, and arts and cultural heritage. It requires organizations to document any specific increase in overhead costs directly tied to administering a funded program before using legacy funds for those expenses. This applies to all recipients of these state funds, ensuring the money is used only for program-specific costs rather than general operational expenses. The bill amends Minnesota Statutes to clarify these restrictions across all four funding programs.
