Data practices; terminology updated.
This bill updates Minnesota's data practices law by clarifying who holds authority over specific welfare system components. It designates responsible authorities for various agencies, including the commissioner of human services for the Department of Human Services and the director of county welfare agencies. The legislation also establishes that these authorities must allow other welfare system entities access to non-public data when needed for program administration or as required by law. This change affects how data sharing is managed across Minnesota's welfare system and which officials are accountable for data decisions.
