Bill > HF2786

This bill establishes new criteria for the Minnesota Department of Education to terminate or prevent grant agreements with nonprofit organizations. Specifically, the commissioner of education must not enter into or must terminate a grant agreement if the recipient meets any of seven disqualifying conditions: (1) failure to file required tax forms like Form 990, (2) not filing a required report under section 309.53, (3) being administratively dissolved by the secretary of state due to failure to file an annual renewal, (4) losing tax-exempt status, (5) having administrative costs exceeding 25% of revenue, (6) paying any employee compensation that exceeds 110% of the governor's compensation, or (7) being under investigation for fraud, waste, or abuse. The bill explicitly excludes political subdivisions like school districts, cooperative units, and charter schools from these requirements. The new provisions would take effect immediately after final enactment, providing the Department of Education with enhanced oversight and accountability mechanisms for grant recipients.
