Bill > SF2612

This bill provides funding for three specific grants and technology modernization projects related to human services in Minnesota. The first section appropriates money for grants to counties to help offset their costs in implementing service delivery transformation initiatives from the Department of Human Services. The commissioner will develop a formula to distribute grants equitably based on the number of people served by each county human services agency. The second section provides grants to counties for information technology modernization projects, with a focus on helping counties develop technology that can interface with existing Department of Human Services systems and supporting collaborative infrastructure projects between larger and smaller counties. The commissioner will consult with county associations like the Minnesota Association of County Social Services Administrators when developing these grants. The third section appropriates funds to the Department of Children, Youth, and Families for improvements to their social services information system. All three appropriations are one-time funding for fiscal year 2026, with the Department of Children, Youth, and Families' appropriation specifically available until June 30, 2027. The overall goal appears to be modernizing and improving technology infrastructure and service delivery across county human services agencies.
