Commissioner of administration required to provide a central point of contact for comments about the misuse of other unlawful uses of funds in state grant programs.

HF 2397 amends Minnesota Statutes section 16B.97 to require the Commissioner of Administration to establish a central point of contact for reporting fraud, waste, misuse, or other unlawful uses of funds in Minnesota state grant programs. This central contact will receive public comments about violations, forward them to the relevant agency for action, and follow up as needed. The bill directly affects state agencies administering grant programs and the public who may report concerns about improper fund use. It does not change grant eligibility, funding levels, or program requirements - only creating a standardized reporting channel. (Amends Minn. Stat. § 16B.97, subd. 4(6))
