     211B.37 Costs assessed. 


    Except as otherwise provided in section 211B.36, 
 subdivision 3, the chief administrative law judge shall assess 
 the cost of considering complaints filed under section 211B.32 
 as provided in this section.  Costs of complaints relating to a 
 statewide ballot question or an election for a statewide or 
 legislative office must be assessed against the appropriation 
 from the general fund to the general account of the state 
 elections campaign fund in section 10A.31, subdivision 4.  Costs 
 of complaints relating to any other ballot question or elective 
 office must be assessed against the county or counties in which 
 the election is held.  Where the election is held in more than 
 one county, the chief administrative law judge shall apportion 
 the assessment among the counties in proportion to their 
 respective populations within the election district to which the 
 complaint relates according to the most recent decennial federal 
 census.
