Subd. 2. Expenditure of account. The commissioner may use the rural rehabilitation account for the purposes that are allowed under the Minnesota Rural Rehabilitation Corporation's charter and agreement, as may be amended or modified by, the United States Secretary of Agriculture as provided in Public Law 499, 81st Congress, enacted May 3, 1950 and as allowed under Laws 1987, chapter 386, article 1. Not more than three percent of the combined book value of the Minnesota rural rehabilitation account and the regional revolving funds may be used for administrative purposes in a year without approval of the United States Secretary of Agriculture.
