Minnesota Board on Aging added to the definition of "agency" in the statute governing inter-government relationships with Tribal governments.

This bill amends Minnesota law to include the Minnesota Board on Aging in the list of state agencies required to consult with Tribal governments. The change ensures that the Board on Aging must proactively seek input from Tribal leaders when developing policies that directly affect them. By adding the Board to the definition of "agency," the legislation formalizes the requirement for meaningful consultation on matters with Tribal implications. This update aligns the Board's operations with existing legal standards that currently apply to other state departments.
