Bill > HF1911

This bill provides funding for three key initiatives related to human services technology and county support. First, it appropriates $5,000,000 in fiscal year 2026 to the commissioner of human services for grants to counties to help offset costs associated with service delivery transformation initiatives. These grants will be distributed equitably based on the number of people served by each county human services agency, and the commissioner will develop a framework for future technology and service delivery implementation support. Second, the bill allocates an unspecified amount of funding for county grants focused on information technology modernization projects, with an emphasis on developing interfaces with existing legacy systems and supporting collaborative technology infrastructure efforts between larger and smaller counties. The commissioner will consult with county associations like the Minnesota Association of County Social Services Administrators during the grant process. Third, the bill provides $40,000,000 to the commissioner of children, youth, and families for improvements to the social services information system, with these funds available until June 30, 2027. All three appropriations are designated as one-time funding, indicating they are intended for specific, discrete projects rather than ongoing expenses.
