SF 70 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Becker Public School District refundable construction exemption provision and appropriation

This bill provides a refundable sales tax exemption for construction materials purchased between 2022 and 2025 for specific buildings in Becker Public School District (ISD 726), including all elementary, middle, and high school facilities plus the transportation building and athletic facility. Purchasers pay the standard sales tax upfront but receive a refund from the state treasury, following procedures similar to other school construction projects. The exemption applies retroactively to purchases made after December 2021, with refunds processed after June 2025. It directly affects contractors and suppliers who provided materials for these school projects during the covered period.
