Bill > SF3647

This bill amends existing Minnesota law regarding grants management, specifically focusing on the conditions under which government agencies can award grants. It clarifies that for grants of $50,000 or more, agencies must conduct a pre-award risk assessment to evaluate a potential grantee's ability to fulfill the grant's requirements. The bill adds new requirements to this assessment, including that charitable organizations must provide evidence of current registration with the Attorney General, unless they are exempt from such registration. Furthermore, the bill introduces a new provision that prohibits an agency from awarding a grant to any potential grantee that cannot provide the necessary financial and operational information required by the assessment, until they are able to supply all the requested details. This aims to ensure greater accountability and reduce the risk of grants being awarded to organizations that may not be capable of successfully completing the funded projects.
