Fraud risk scoring and fraud risk score benchmarks required for grants to political subdivisions, pilot program established, and report required.

This bill requires the state auditor to assign fraud risk scores to Minnesota political subdivisions at least every two years based on their internal controls and financial practices. To qualify for state grants, local governments must meet a minimum benchmark score, though they can submit a plan for improvement if they fall short. The legislation also mandates a public online dashboard to display these scores and establishes a 18-to-24-month pilot program to test the system before full implementation.
