Program payment withholding provided for credible allegation of fraud, grant management provisions changed, and program integrity reports required.
HF 3629 updates Minnesota's state grant management rules. It centralizes oversight under the commissioner of administration, requiring standardized policies for all state agencies, a single point of contact for grant issues, and centralized tracking of grant opportunities. The bill also adds privacy protections for individuals reporting grant fraud or waste, and expands termination rules for grant recipients convicted of crimes related to grant agreements - now including key personnel like executives and board members. These changes directly affect all state agencies managing grants and the organizations receiving state grant funds.
