Bill > SF3643

This bill amends Minnesota Statutes, section 10.65, subdivision 2, to add the Minnesota Board on Aging to the list of state entities considered an "agency" for the purpose of government-to-government relationships with Tribal governments. This means the Minnesota Board on Aging will now be required to engage in "consultation" with Minnesota Tribal governments on matters that have Tribal implications, which are defined as actions that substantially affect Tribal governments or the distribution of power between the state and Tribal governments. Consultation is described as a direct and interactive process where agencies proactively seek input from Tribal governments and consider their interests as an integral part of decision-making, with the agency bearing the burden of demonstrating a good-faith effort to elicit feedback.
