Departments of Human Services and Children, Youth, and Families required to provide a report to the legislature on program integrity.

This bill requires Minnesota's Departments of Human Services and Children, Youth, and Families to submit annual reports to the legislature on program integrity. Starting November 30, 2026, the departments must provide detailed information about their oversight activities, including data on investigations, licensing, and fraud prevention. The reports will include specific metrics such as the number of maltreatment reports, licensing complaints, fraud investigations, and background study results over the past five years. These reports will be sent to the chairs and ranking minority members of the relevant legislative committees. The legislation aims to increase transparency by establishing a consistent reporting framework for how these departments monitor and enforce program compliance.
