Gov. Mark Dayton has sent a proposed agreement to legislative leaders for them to authorize before he will call a special legislative session.

The draft agreement requires the legislative session only include storm relief for southern Minnesota counties and a repeal of a sales tax on equipment of farm machinery.

If Democratic and Republican leaders agree to the governor's terms, the session will convene 2 p.m. Sept. 9.

Staff for the governor's office and legislators have discussed perameters for the session for more than a week.

Here's Dayton's proposal:

The undersigned all agree that the 88th Legislature, 2013 1st Special Session will convene on Monday, September 9 at 2:00 p.m. at the State Capitol in Saint Paul, Minnesota, and will be limited to the 2013 Disaster Relief Appropriation Bill and a second bill to exempt repair labor for agricultural machinery from the sales and use tax. The appriopriations in the 2013 Disaster Relief Appriations Bill are reflected in the legislative spreadsheet and the language is reflected in the revisor's bill draft.
