Increases to Department of Human Services central office appropriations limited.

HF 3517 limits annual funding increases for the Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) central office to 4% per year. This cap applies only during fiscal years when other budget constraints (such as inflation-based limits) are active. The bill does not affect funding for DHS programs that directly serve Minnesotans but specifically controls administrative spending for the central office. It becomes effective on July 1, 2026.
