Bill > SF1043

This bill directs the Commissioner of Human Services, in partnership with counties, local social services agencies, and in consultation with Minnesota's Tribal governments, to develop a plan by January 15, 2024, to streamline and minimize the required paperwork for child protection cases. The plan must include a summary of proposed changes, a timeline for implementation, and procedures for soliciting ongoing input from counties and Tribal governments to ensure the planned improvements maximize benefits and utility for children in placement, foster care providers, Tribes, counties, and private child placing agencies.
