AI Summary

This bill directs the commissioner of Minnesota IT Services to integrate the transit assistance program, which is currently administered by Metro Transit, into the Minnesota benefits web portal by December 31, 2025. The integration will be done in consultation with Metro Transit and the commissioners of transportation, human services, and children, youth, and families. Importantly, Metro Transit and the Metropolitan Council will continue to process transit assistance program applications even after the integration occurs. The bill includes an appropriation of an unspecified amount from the general fund in fiscal year 2026 to support this technical integration effort. The goal appears to be to streamline access to transit assistance by making it part of a centralized benefits web portal, which could potentially make it easier for eligible individuals to apply for and manage transit support services.
