Bill Summary

A bill for an act relating to civil law; requiring a report to the legislature by the State Board of Civil Legal Aid; amending Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 480.243, by adding a subdivision.

AI Summary

This bill requires the State Board of Civil Legal Aid to submit a comprehensive report to the chairs and ranking minority members of the legislative committees overseeing judiciary every two years (specifically by January 15 in odd-numbered years). The report must include data about the cases, individuals, and families served by organizations receiving grants under section 480.242, which supports civil legal aid services. The bill mandates that the data be presented for each individual organization and, when possible, broken down by geographic region, while ensuring individual privacy is maintained through aggregate reporting. The purpose of this reporting requirement appears to be to provide legislative oversight and transparency about how civil legal aid funds are being used and the impact of these services across Minnesota.
