Bill > HF2425

This bill provides funding to help counties implement service delivery transformation and modernize their information technology systems in the human services sector. Specifically, the bill appropriates an unspecified amount of money in fiscal year 2026 from the general fund for three key purposes: first, grants to counties to offset costs related to the Department of Human Services' service delivery transformation initiatives, with the commissioner developing a formula to distribute funds equitably based on the number of people served by each county human services agency; second, grants to counties for information technology modernization projects, with a focus on developing systems that can interface with existing legacy systems and promoting collaborative infrastructure projects between larger and smaller counties; and third, funding for improvements to the social services information system at the Department of Children, Youth, and Families. All three appropriations are described as "onetime" funding, with the Department of Children, Youth, and Families' appropriation specifically available until June 30, 2027. The bill requires the commissioner of human services to consult with county associations like the Minnesota Association of County Social Services Administrators when developing grant proposals and evaluating county applicants.
