Hausman moved to amend S. F. No. 1678, the unofficial engrossment, as follows:

Page 54, after line 23, insert:

"Sec. 82. Minnesota Statutes 1994, section 116D.04, subdivision 1a, is amended to read:

Subd. 1a. For the purposes of this chapter, the following terms have the meanings given to them in this subdivision.

(a) "Natural resources" has the meaning given it in section 116B.02, subdivision 4.

(b) "Pollution, impairment or destruction" has the meaning given it in section 116B.02, subdivision 5.

(c) "Environmental assessment worksheet" means a brief document which is designed to set out the basic facts, including mitigation measures which will be included in the action to reduce or avoid environmental effects, necessary to determine whether an environmental impact statement is required for a proposed action and to identify alternatives to the action which have been considered by the proposer of the project or the responsible governmental unit.

(d) "Governmental action" means activities, including projects wholly or partially conducted, permitted, assisted, financed, regulated, or approved by units of government including the federal government.

(e) "Governmental unit" means any state agency and any general or special purpose unit of government in the state including, but not limited to, watershed districts organized under chapter 103D, counties, towns, cities, port authorities, housing authorities, and economic development authorities established under sections 469.090 to 469.108, but not including courts, school districts, and regional development commissions other than the metropolitan council.

Sec. 83. Minnesota Statutes 1994, section 116D.04, subdivision 2a, is amended to read:

Subd. 2a. Where there is potential for significant environmental effects resulting from any major governmental action, the action shall be preceded by a detailed environmental impact statement prepared by the responsible governmental unit. The environmental impact statement shall be an analytical rather than an encyclopedic document which describes the proposed action in detail, analyzes its significant environmental impacts, discusses appropriate alternatives to the proposed action and their impacts, and explores methods by which adverse environmental impacts of an action could be mitigated. The environmental impact statement shall also analyze those economic, employment and sociological effects that cannot be avoided should the action be implemented. To ensure its use in the decision making process, the environmental impact statement shall be prepared as early as practical in the formulation of an action.

(a) The board shall by rule establish categories of actions for which environmental impact statements and for which environmental assessment worksheets shall be prepared as well as categories of actions for which no environmental review is required under this section.

(b) The responsible governmental unit shall promptly publish notice of the completion of an environmental assessment worksheet in a manner to be determined by the board and shall provide copies of the environmental assessment worksheet to the board and its member agencies and other persons in a manner to be determined by the board. If the chair of the board or the chair's designee determines that the environmental assessment worksheet is incomplete, the document shall be returned to the responsible governmental unit for correction of the deficiencies prior to publication of the notice.

(1) Notice of the completion of the environmental assessment worksheet shall be published in a manner to be determined by the board. Comments on the need for an environmental impact statement may be submitted to the responsible governmental unit during a 30 day period following publication of the notice that an environmental assessment worksheet has been completed.

(2) The responsible governmental unit's decision on the need for an environmental impact statement shall be based on the environmental assessment worksheet and the comments received during the comment period, and any other information collected during the course of completion of the environmental assessment worksheet process.


JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE - 48th Day - Top of Page 3327

(3) A decision on the need for an environmental impact statement shall be made within 15 days after the close of the comment period. The board's chair may extend the 15 day period by not more than 15 additional days upon the request of the responsible governmental unit. The responsible governmental unit may postpone its decision on the need for an environmental impact statement even further upon the agreement of the project proposer.

(4) The responsible governmental unit may postpone its decision on the need for an environmental impact statement in order to conduct studies to obtain further information if the responsible governmental unit determines that such information is necessary to characterize or assess the magnitude of one or more potentially significant environmental impacts or to assess the extent to which such impacts can be mitigated, provided that the information can reasonably be expected to be obtained within 90 days of initiation of the studies, or a longer period of time to which the project proposer agrees. The proposer of the action shall be responsible for the reasonable costs of the studies. All persons who were required to be provided copies of the environmental assessment worksheet under paragraph (b) and all persons who submitted substantive and timely comments on the environmental assessment worksheet or who request a copy shall receive a summary of the results of the studies and be afforded at least 15 days to comment on the information from the studies. A responsible governmental unit may not extend the time for determining whether to prepare an environmental impact statement more than once under this paragraph.

(5) In making its decision on the need for an environmental impact statement, the responsible governmental unit shall consider the extent to which identified potential environmental impacts will be reduced or avoided by mitigation measures or changes in the project as proposed. Only those mitigation measures or changes that are actually committed to by the project proposer shall be considered. If the project proposer subsequently decides not to implement mitigation measures or project changes, the project proposer must once again comply with the requirements of this chapter for environmental review. Those mitigation measures and project changes considered by the responsible governmental unit in making its decision on the need for an environmental impact statement must be implemented as part of the action and must be incorporated as conditions in any applicable permits and approvals issued for the action by the responsible governmental unit.

(6) The responsible governmental unit shall promptly file its record supporting its decision on the need for an environmental impact statement with the board and other persons and agencies which submitted timely and substantive comments. The record shall include responses to all timely and substantive comments and shall identify specific mitigation measures that will be implemented as part of the action to reduce or avoid potentially significant environmental effects.

(7) Within ten working days of receipt of the notice and record of a decision, the chair of the board may suspend the decision and remand the matter to the responsible governmental unit for reconsideration. The chair may remand the decision if the chair determines, upon a review of the record and any other evidence available to the chair, that the responsible governmental unit has failed to follow the applicable procedures or has failed to comply with substantive requirements for the preparation of an environmental assessment worksheet or has made a decision that does not appear to the chair to be supported by the record. The chair shall explain in writing the reasons for the remanding of the matter.

(8) The responsible governmental unit shall reconsider the need for an environmental impact statement within 15 days of receipt of the notice of remand from the chair and shall file notice and the record of its reconsideration with the board within five days. If the responsible governmental unit determines to gather additional data or redo a procedural step or to prepare an environmental impact statement, the process shall continue in accordance with the requirements of this chapter and the rules of the board. The chair may not remand the reconsidered decision.

(c) An environmental assessment worksheet shall also be prepared for a proposed action whenever material evidence accompanying a petition by not less than 25 150 individuals, submitted before the proposed project has received final approval by the appropriate governmental units or, if the proposer has given notice as provided in paragraph (d), before the expiration of the time limit specified in paragraph (d), demonstrates that, because of the nature or location of a proposed action, there may be potential for significant environmental effects. Petitions requesting the preparation of an environmental assessment worksheet shall be submitted to the board. The chair of the board shall determine the appropriate responsible governmental unit and forward the petition to it. A decision on the need for an environmental assessment worksheet shall be made by the responsible governmental unit within 15 days after the petition is received by the responsible governmental unit. The board's chair may extend the 15 day period by not more than 15 additional days upon request of the responsible governmental unit. The responsible governmental unit may extend the time period even further upon agreement of the project proposer.


JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE - 48th Day - Top of Page 3328

(d) The board shall by rule establish a process by which the proposer of an action may give public notice of the impending action. The rules shall address, at a minimum: the content of the notices, which must include information about the action's description, its location, and necessary state, local, and federal permits that must be secured for the action; and a requirement that the notice appear in at least two issues of a newspaper of general circulation in the area of the proposed action dated at least one week apart and also in at least one issue of the EQB Monitor. If the proposer of an action provides notice in accordance with the established process, no petition under paragraph (c) may be filed on the action later than 60 days after the notice has been given. The proposer shall be responsible for maintaining evidence that proper notice has been given.

(d) (e) The board may, prior to final approval of a proposed project, require preparation of an environmental assessment worksheet by a responsible governmental unit selected by the board for any action where environmental review under this section has not been specifically provided for by rule or otherwise initiated.

(e) (f) An early and open process shall be utilized to limit the scope of the environmental impact statement to a discussion of those impacts, which, because of the nature or location of the project, have the potential for significant environmental effects. The same process shall be utilized to determine the form, content and level of detail of the statement as well as the alternatives which are appropriate for consideration in the statement. In addition, the permits which will be required for the proposed action shall be identified during the scoping process. Further, the process shall identify those permits for which information will be developed concurrently with the environmental impact statement. The board shall provide in its rules for the expeditious completion of the scoping process. The determinations reached in the process shall be incorporated into the order requiring the preparation of an environmental impact statement.

(f) (g) Whenever practical, information needed by a governmental unit for making final decisions on permits or other actions required for a proposed project shall be developed in conjunction with the preparation of an environmental impact statement.

(g) (h) An environmental impact statement shall be prepared and its adequacy determined within 280 days after notice of its preparation unless the time is extended by consent of the parties or by the governor for good cause. The responsible governmental unit shall determine the adequacy of an environmental impact statement, unless within 60 days after notice is published that an environmental impact statement will be prepared, the board chooses to determine the adequacy of an environmental impact statement. If an environmental impact statement is found to be inadequate, the responsible governmental unit shall have 60 days to prepare an adequate environmental impact statement.

Sec. 84. Minnesota Statutes 1994, section 116D.04, subdivision 2b, is amended to read:

Subd. 2b. If an environmental assessment worksheet or an environmental impact statement is required for a governmental action under subdivision 2a, a project may not be started and a final governmental decision may not be made to grant a permit, approve a project, or begin a project, until:

(1) a petition for an environmental assessment worksheet is dismissed;

(2) a negative declaration has been issued on the need for an environmental impact statement;

(3) the environmental impact statement has been determined adequate; or

(4) a variance has been granted from making an environmental impact statement by the environmental quality board.

These prohibitions on starting a project shall continue during the time the chair of the board is considering whether to remand a decision by a responsible governmental unit not to prepare an environmental impact statement and during the time the responsible governmental unit is acting in response to the remand by the chair.

Sec. 85. Minnesota Statutes 1994, section 116D.04, subdivision 5a, is amended to read:

Subd. 5a. The board shall, by January 1, 1981, promulgate rules in conformity with this chapter and the provisions of chapter 15, establishing:

(a) The governmental unit which shall be responsible for environmental review of a proposed action;

(b) The form and content of environmental assessment worksheets;


JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE - 48th Day - Top of Page 3329

(c) A scoping process in conformance with subdivision 2a, clause (e) paragraph (f);

(d) A procedure for identifying during the scoping process the permits necessary for a proposed action and a process for coordinating review of appropriate permits with the preparation of the environmental impact statement;

(e) A standard format for environmental impact statements;

(f) Standards for determining the alternatives to be discussed in an environmental impact statement;

(g) Alternative forms of environmental review which are acceptable pursuant to subdivision 4a;

(h) A model ordinance which may be adopted and implemented by local governmental units in lieu of the environmental impact statement process required by this section, providing for an alternative form of environmental review where an action does not require a state agency permit and is consistent with an applicable comprehensive plan. The model ordinance shall provide for adequate consideration of appropriate alternatives, and shall ensure that decisions are made in accordance with the policies and purposes of Laws 1980, chapter 447;

(i) Procedures to reduce paperwork and delay through intergovernmental cooperation and the elimination of unnecessary duplication of environmental reviews;

(j) Procedures for expediting the selection of consultants by the governmental unit responsible for the preparation of an environmental impact statement; and

(k) Any additional rules which are reasonably necessary to carry out the requirements of this section."

"Sec. 95. [356.2795] [RETIREMENT FUND EQUITY REPORT.]

The legislature finds that it is in the interest of the state and all of its valued employees to ensure that public pension and retirement programs are of equal valuation across all funds. Furthermore, the legislature finds that all individual members of the state's public pension and retirement funds, regardless of age, classification, or seniority, are entitled to the same level of benefits in proportion to their contribution.

On January 1 of each year the legislative commission on pensions and retirement shall submit to the legislative coordinating commission and the governor, and shall make available to the public, a retirement fund equity report containing the following information:

(1) A listing, by category, of pension plan modifications since 1988 which result in immediate or future benefit changes including, but not limited to: increases or decreases in employer or employee contributions, allowable returns to full or part-time employment to the employer agency from which a member has officially retired, any changes in the formula used in the computation of annuities, any additional retirement related levies allowed or required of local

(2) background on the reason for the above benefit changes, estimated costs to the general fund, costs to employees, employer/agencies, and affected state retirement funds, and local units of government; and

(3) a listing of early retirement incentive programs, listing affected agencies, number of employees targeted, per retirement costs associated with the program, and concurrence with the recommendations in the 1995 legislative auditor's report on early retirement incentives."

Subd. 3. [REVIEW.] The attorney general shall approve or disapprove the rule as to its legality and its form to the extent the form relates to legality, including the issue of substantial change, and determine whether the agency has the authority to adopt the rule and whether the record demonstrates a rational basis for the need for and reasonableness of the proposed rule within 14 days.

(1) that the failure did not deprive any person or entity of an opportunity to participate meaningfully in the rulemaking process; or

(2) that the agency has taken corrective action to cure the error or defect so that the failure did not deprive any person or entity of an opportunity to participate meaningfully in the rulemaking process.

Sec. 8. Minnesota Statutes 1994, section 14.47, subdivision 3, is amended to read:

Subd. 3. [SOURCE OF TEXT.] In order to ensure that the complete text of rules is included in the first compilation published pursuant to in accordance with subdivision 1, clause (2), and containing the revisor's certificate, the revisor may use the Minnesota Code of Agency Rules, the State Register, the rule files of the secretary of state, the files of individual agencies, the records of the administrative law judge's office, and the records of the attorney general. The revisor is not required to compare the text of a rule as shown by the other possible source documents with the text of the rule in the secretary of state's file.

If any comparison of documents shows there is a material discrepancy in the text of the rule, the revisor shall include in Minnesota Rules the text in the secretary of state's files unless the discrepancy between the secretary of state's files and any of the other documents is the result of an obvious unintentional omission or clerical error. The text published by the revisor shall must correct those omissions and errors. The revisor shall add an appropriate footnote describing the apparent discrepancy in text. Before publication of Minnesota Rules, the revisor shall also notify the agency whose rules are affected, the attorney general, and the chief administrative law judge, and the legislative commission to review administrative rules about the omission or error.

If any comparison of documents shows that a rule has been filed with the secretary of state but apparently has not been published in the State Register as required by law, the revisor may, unless the attorney general objects, include the rule in Minnesota Rules or omit the rule if the rule was a repeal, but shall add an appropriate footnote describing the apparent fault. Before publication of Minnesota Rules, the revisor shall notify the agency whose rules are affected, the attorney general, and the chief administrative law judge, and the legislative commission to review administrative rules about the apparent lack of publication.

If a comparison of documents shows that a rule as adopted in the State Register has apparently not been filed with the secretary of state, the revisor may not publish the rule in Minnesota Rules unless the attorney general approves the publication. Before publication of Minnesota Rules the revisor shall notify the agency affected, the attorney general, and the chief administrative law judge and the legislative commission to review administrative rules of the apparent lack of filing of the rule. If the revisor publishes the rule, the revisor shall add an appropriate footnote describing the apparent lack of filing.

The revisor may also omit effective date provisions, statements that a rule is repealed, prefaces, appendices, guidelines, organizational descriptions, explanations of federal or state law, and similar material. The revisor shall consult with the agency, the attorney general, the legislative commission to review administrative rules, and with the chief administrative law judge before omitting any text from publication.

(b) For the purposes of any compilation or publication of the rules, the revisor, unless the attorney general objects, may omit any rules that, by their own terms, are no longer effective or have been repealed directly by the agency, repealed by the legislature, or declared unconstitutional or otherwise void by a court of last resort. The revisor shall may not remove a rule which that is suspended and not fully repealed, but shall, if practicable, note the fact of suspension in Minnesota Rules. The revisor shall consult the agency involved, the attorney general, and the chief administrative law judge, and the legislative commission to review administrative rules before omitting a rule from publication.

Sec. 11. Minnesota Statutes 1994, section 62J.04, subdivision 1a, is amended to read:

Subd. 1a. [ADJUSTED GROWTH LIMITS AND ENFORCEMENT.] (a) The commissioner shall publish the final adjusted growth limit in the State Register by January 31 of the year that the expenditure limit is to be in effect. The adjusted limit must reflect the actual regional consumer price index for urban consumers for the previous calendar year, and may deviate from the previously published projected growth limits to reflect differences between the actual regional consumer price index for urban consumers and the projected Consumer Price Index for urban consumers. The commissioner shall report to the legislature by February 15 of each year on differences between the projected increase in health care expenditures, the actual expenditures based on data collected, and the impact and validity of growth limits within the overall health care reform strategy.

(b) The commissioner shall enforce limits on growth in spending and revenues for integrated service networks and for the regulated all-payer option. If the commissioner determines that artificial inflation or padding of costs or prices has occurred in anticipation of the implementation of growth limits, the commissioner may adjust the base year spending totals or growth limits or take other action to reverse the effect of the artificial inflation or padding.

(c) The commissioner shall impose and enforce overall limits on growth in revenues and spending for integrated service networks, with adjustments for changes in enrollment, benefits, severity, and risks. If an integrated service network exceeds the growth limits, the commissioner may reduce future limits on growth in aggregate premium revenues for that integrated service network by up to the amount overspent. If the integrated service network system exceeds a systemwide spending limit, the commissioner may reduce future limits on growth in premium revenues for the integrated service network system by up to the amount overspent.

(d) The commissioner shall set prices, utilization controls, and other requirements for the regulated all-payer option to ensure that the overall costs of this system, after adjusting for changes in population, severity, and risk, do not exceed the growth limits. If growth limits for a calendar year are exceeded, the commissioner may reduce reimbursement rates or otherwise recoup amounts exceeding the limit for all or part of the next calendar year. To the extent possible, the commissioner may reduce reimbursement rates or otherwise recoup amounts over the limit from individual providers who exceed the growth limits.

(e) The commissioner, in consultation with the Minnesota health care commission, shall research and make recommendations to the legislature regarding the implementation of growth limits for integrated service networks and the regulated all-payer option. The commissioner must shall consider both spending and revenue approaches and will report on the implementation of the interim limits as defined in sections 62P.04 and 62P.05. The commissioner must shall examine and make recommendations on the use of annual update factors based on volume


JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE - 48th Day - Top of Page 3346

performance standards as a mechanism for achieving controls on spending in the all-payer option. The commissioner must shall make recommendations regarding the enforcement mechanism and must shall consider mechanisms to adjust future growth limits as well as mechanisms to establish financial penalties for noncompliance. The commissioner must shall also address the feasibility of systemwide limits imposed on all integrated service networks.

(f) The commissioner shall report to the legislative commission on health care access by December 1, 1994, on trends in aggregate spending and premium revenue for health plan companies. The commissioner shall use data submitted under section 62P.04 and other available data to complete this report.

Subd. 9. [GROWTH LIMITS; FEDERAL PROGRAMS.] The commissioners of health and human services shall establish a rate methodology for Medicare and Medicaid risk-based contracting with health plan companies that is consistent with statewide growth limits. The methodology shall be presented for review by the Minnesota health care commission and the legislative commission on health care access prior to the submission of a waiver request to the health care financing administration and subsequent implementation of the methodology.

Sec. 13. Minnesota Statutes 1994, section 62Q.33, subdivision 5, is amended to read:

Subd. 5. [TIMELINE.] (a) By October 1, 1994, the commissioner shall submit to the legislative commission on health care access the initial report and recommendations required by subdivisions 2 to 4.

(b) By February 15, 1995, the commissioner, in cooperation with the legislative commission on health care access, shall submit a final report to the legislature, with specific recommendations for capacity building and financing to be implemented over the period from January 1, 1996, through December 31, 1997.

(c) (b) By January 1, 1997, and by January 1 of each odd-numbered year thereafter, the commissioner shall present to the legislature an updated report and recommendations.

Sec. 14. Minnesota Statutes 1994, section 85.019, subdivision 2, is amended to read:

Subd. 2. [GRANTS FOR PARKS AND TRAILS.] The commissioner shall administer a program to provide grants to units of government located within standard metropolitan statistical areas, as designated by the United States Office of Management and Budget, but outside of the metropolitan area defined in section 473.121.

(c) The distributions under this subdivision to the highway user tax distribution fund until June 30, 1991, and to the trunk highway fund thereafter, must be reduced by the amount necessary to fund the appropriation under section 41A.09, subdivision 1. For the fiscal years ending June 30, 1988, and June 30, 1989, the commissioner of finance, before making the transfers required on July 15 and January 15 of each year, shall estimate the amount required to fund the appropriation under section 41A.09, subdivision 1, for the six-month period for which the transfer is being made. The commissioner shall then reduce the amount transferred to the highway user tax distribution fund by the amount of that estimate. The commissioner shall reduce the estimate for any six-month period by the amount by which the estimate for the previous six-month period exceeded the amount needed to fund the appropriation under section 41A.09, subdivision 1, for that previous six-month period. If at any time during a six-month period in those fiscal years the amount of reduction in the transfer to the highway user tax distribution fund is insufficient to fund the appropriation under section 41A.09, subdivision 1, for that period, the commissioner shall transfer to the general fund from the highway user tax distribution fund an additional amount sufficient to fund the appropriation for that period, but the additional amount so transferred to the general fund in a six-month period may not exceed the amount transferred to the highway user tax distribution fund for that six-month period."
