HF 4029 Minnesota House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Disclosure of certain investigations and withholding of payments within 30 days of a request required.

This bill requires state agencies to disclose information about investigations into potential overpayments of public funds within 30 days of a request, provided the agency has already taken action to reduce, suspend, or withhold payments. It affects the Department of Human Services and the Department of Children, Youth, and Families by mandating transparency about ongoing investigations into service providers and recipients. The law also expands access to investigative data for the ombudsman for mental health and developmental disabilities, allowing them to request both active and inactive case information including reporter names. Additionally, the bill clarifies when certain investigative data becomes public by classifying it as such once submitted to a court or administrative law judge.
