Minnesota Statutes 16A.14, Subd. 3 requires that all agencies submit a spending plan to MMB to certify that: 1) the amount required for each activity is accurate and is consistent with legislative intent; 2) revenue estimates are complete and reasonable; and 3) the plan is structurally balanced, with all legal restrictions on spending having been met for the purpose for which money is to be spent. To meet this requirement, each agency must submit an annual spending plan certification form and supporting reports by July 31 each year.
