Laws 1984, ch. 582 ~13 subd. <br />4. The $150 per capita figure set forth in Section 4(a) of Section 721 is the <br />most appropriate since the State of Minnesota did not have an excess bond amount <br />for 1983 making the phasein limitation set forth in Section 4(B) inappropriate. <br />The Department is aware that Section 4(C) provides that the $150 per capita <br />state ceiling is to be adjusted to $100 per capita to reflect the termination of <br />the small issue exemption for "calendar years after 1983." The Department did <br />not make this adjustment to the state ceiling since it appears that the <br />reference to 1983 is in error as the'small issue exemption does not terminate <br />until 1986 and the Supplemental Report of the Committee on Ways and Means of the <br />U.S. House of Representatives on H.R. 4170 of March 5, 1984 makes it clear, that <br />a S150 per capita state ceiling was intended for calendar year 1984. The <br />Department used the following formula'to determine the initial amounts of <br />issuance authority allocated to entitlement issuers set forth below: <br /> <br />Individual allocations to Entitlement Issuers <br /> <br />S411,866,400 (Total State Allocation to Entitlement Issuers) <br />$665,969,74~ (Combined 3 year high average for all Entitlement Issuers) <br /> equals 61.8446!14% X S 3 year high average for Entitlement <br /> Issuer <br /> equals $ allocation. <br /> <br /> The Department included $79,240,000 in refunding issues of the Port <br />Authority of the City of St. Paul in determining the combined 3 year high <br />average for all entitlement issuers and the allocation for the City of St. Paul. <br />The refunding issues were included based upon language in the March 5, 1984 <br />Supplement al Report of the Committee on Ways and Means of the U.S. House of <br />Representatives on H.R. 4170 and the opinioh of bond counsel for the City of St. <br />Paul that such refunding issues were obligations of a type which would be sub- <br />ject to limitation under the terms of Section 721 of the Tax Reform Bill of <br />1984, H.R. 1470, as reported by the Ways and Means Committee of the U.S. House <br />of Representatives on May 5, 1984. <br /> <br />m <br /> <br /> <br />
