AI Summary

This bill modifies the reporting deadline for uncollectible state agency debts from October 31 to November 30 each year. Specifically, the bill amends a provision of Minnesota law that governs how state agencies handle and report debts that cannot be collected. Under the existing law, when a state agency determines a debt is uncollectible based on criteria such as exhausted collection efforts, bankruptcy, or insufficient assets, they must report these debts quarterly. For debts of $100,000 or more, the agency must notify legislative committee chairs. The key change is extending the deadline for the commissioner of management and budget to submit an annual summary of uncollectible debts to legislative committees from October 31 to November 30. This seemingly minor change provides state agencies with an additional month to compile and report their uncollectible debt information, potentially allowing for more comprehensive and accurate reporting. The bill emphasizes that classifying a debt as uncollectible does not absolve the debtor of their legal obligation to pay the debt.
