St. Paul local sales tax use modification

This bill modifies how the City of St. Paul can spend money collected from its local sales tax. It directs that tax revenues be used to pay for street and bridge improvements totaling $738 million, as well as capital upgrades to parks and recreation facilities worth $246 million. To proceed with the park and recreation funding, the city must pass a specific resolution and submit it to the state auditor by August 31 of the election year; if this step is missed, that portion of the funding cannot be used. The changes apply retroactively to May 24, 2023, allowing the city to use the funds for these projects without needing new voter approval.
