This bill, introduced in the Minnesota House of Representatives, aims to ensure that state highway funds are used strictly for highway-related purposes. It prohibits state agencies from including expenditures from the Trunk Highway Fund or the Highway User Tax Distribution Fund for non-highway purposes in the governor’s budget.

Additionally, the bill requires the Commissioner of Management and Budget and the Attorney General to submit a report within 45 days of the governor’s biennial budget submission. This report must:
1. Analyze proposed appropriations from these highway funds.
2. Explain the highway-related purpose of each appropriation.
3. Identify any proposed appropriations that do not align with highway-related purposes.
4. Recommend alternative funding sources for non-highway expenditures.

The bill is intended to ensure compliance with Article XIV, Sections 2, 5, and 6 of the Minnesota Constitution, which govern the use of highway-related funds. Any expenditure that does not involve the construction, improvement, or maintenance of highways is considered a non-highway purpose.
