Bill > SF2252

This bill provides appropriations totaling $45,000,000 from the general fund to support county-level human services technology and service delivery improvements across Minnesota in fiscal year 2026. Specifically, the bill allocates $5,000,000 for grants to counties to help offset costs related to the Department of Human Services' service delivery transformation initiatives, with the commissioner required to develop an equitable distribution formula based on the number of people served by each county human services agency. An additional unspecified amount is appropriated for county information technology modernization grants, focusing on projects that will help counties interface with legacy systems and encourage collaboration between larger and smaller counties. The bill also includes a $40,000,000 appropriation to the Department of Children, Youth, and Families for improvements to their social services information system. The appropriations are designated as one-time funding, with the Department of Children, Youth, and Families' appropriation available until June 30, 2027. The commissioner of human services is instructed to consult with county associations like the Minnesota Association of County Social Services Administrators when developing grant proposals and evaluating applicants.
