Hennepin County imposition of a local sales tax authorization

Summary

The bill lets Hennepin County add up to a one‑percent sales and use tax, with revenue first allocated to youth programs and extended library hours (up to $4 million a year, adjusted by 1.5% annually) and the remainder to a designated teaching hospital for capital, infrastructure, and operating costs. It also authorizes the county to issue bonds to finance these expenses without a voter referendum and requires periodic reporting to state legislative committees.
