MINNESOTA STATUTES 2015 116J.994 Subd. 6. Failure to meet goals. (a) The subsidy agreement must specify the recipient's obligation if the recipient does not fulfill the agreement. At a minimum, the agreement must require a recipient failing to meet subsidy agreement goals to pay back the assistance plus interest to the grantor or, at the grantor's option, to the account created under section 116J.551 provided that repayment may be prorated to reflect partial fulfillment of goals. The interest rate must be set at no less than the implicit price deflator for government consumption expenditures and gross investment for state and local governments prepared by the Bureau of Economic Analysis of the United States Department of Commerce for the 12-month period ending March 31 of the previous year. The grantor, after a public hearing, may extend for up to one year the period for meeting the wage and job goals under subdivision 4 provided in a subsidy agreement. A grantor may extend the period for meeting other goals under subdivision 3, paragraph (a), clause (3), by documenting in writing the reason for the extension and attaching a copy of the document to its next annual report to the department. (b) A recipient that fails to meet the terms of a subsidy agreement may not receive a business subsidy from any grantor for a period of five years from the date of failure or until a recipient satisfies its repayment obligation under this subdivision, whichever occurs first. (c) Before a grantor signs a business subsidy agreement, the grantor must check with the compilation and summary report required by this section to determine if the recipient is eligible to receive a business subsidy. Subd. 7. Reports by recipients to grantors. (a) A business subsidy grantor must monitor the progress by the recipient in achieving agreement goals. (b) A recipient must provide information regarding goals and results for two years after the benefit date or until the goals are met, whichever is later. If the goals are not met, the recipient must continue to provide information on the subsidy until the subsidy is repaid. The information must be filed on forms developed by the commissioner in cooperation with representatives of local government. Copies of the completed forms must be sent to the local government agency that provided the subsidy or to the commissioner if the grantor is a state agency. If the Iron Range Resources and Rehabilitation Board is the grantor, the copies must be sent to the board. The report must include: (1) the type, public purpose, and amount of subsidies and type of district, if the subsidy is tax increment financing; (2) the hourly wage of each job created with separate bands of wages; (3) the sum of the hourly wages and cost of health insurance provided by the employer with separate bands of wages; (4) the date the job and wage goals will be reached; (5) a statement of goals identified in the subsidy agreement and an update on achievement of those goals; (6) the location of the recipient prior to receiving the business subsidy; (7) the number of employees who ceased to be employed by the recipient when the recipient relocated to become eligible for the business subsidy; (8) why the recipient did not complete the project outlined in the subsidy agreement at their previous location, if the recipient was previously located at another site in Minnesota; (9) the name and address of the parent corporation of the recipient, if any; (10) a list of all financial assistance by all grantors for the project; and Copyright 0 2015 by the Revisor of Statutes, State of Minnesota.
