This bill (S.F. No. 2366) proposes allowing municipalities in Minnesota to establish municipal street improvement districts to fund street improvements and maintenance through a street improvement fee. Key provisions of the bill include:

1. Definitions – Defines key terms such as "municipality," "street improvement district," "improvements," and "maintenance."
   
2. Authorization – Municipalities may impose a street improvement fee through an ordinance after holding a public hearing.
   
3. Apportionment of Fees – Fees must be distributed among developed parcels based on traffic generated.
   
4. Street Improvement Plan – Municipalities must develop a plan, estimate costs, and hold a public hearing before implementing the fee.
   
5. Use of Fees – Revenue from fees must be used solely for improvements and maintenance within the designated district.
   
6. Collection – Fees may be collected for up to 20 years, and unpaid fees can be certified to the county auditor for collection as special assessments.
   
7. Alternative Funding – Using these fees does not prevent municipalities from using other financing methods, except special assessments cannot be used alongside these fees for the same projects.
   
8. Unimproved Parcels – Unimproved parcels are exempt from fees for up to three years after street paving or until a structure is built and occupied.
   
9. Exemptions – Institutions of purely public charity are exempt from the fee.
   
10. Appeals – Property owners can appeal a fee within 30 days to district court, which can affirm, set aside, or order a reapportionment.
    

The bill essentially enables cities to create districts and charge property owners a fee to fund street repairs and maintenance, as an alternative to special assessments.
