Bill > SF1987

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 legal services cases and the individuals and families served by grant recipients who receive funding under section 480.242. The bill stipulates that the data should be presented in a way that breaks down information for each individual organization and, when possible, by geographic region, while also ensuring individual privacy by presenting aggregate information. This reporting requirement aims to provide legislators with transparent insights into the scope and impact of civil legal aid services across Minnesota, allowing for better oversight and understanding of how state-funded legal assistance is being utilized to support residents in need.
