This bill proposes amendments to Minnesota statutes regarding child maltreatment cases that occur outside of the state.

Key provisions include: 1. Judicial Review: It allows for judicial review of maltreatment cases occurring outside of Minnesota by specifying the appropriate district court jurisdiction based on where the maltreatment occurred or where the involved individuals reside. 2. Local Welfare Agency Responsibility: It designates the local welfare agency as the entity responsible for assessing or investigating reports of child maltreatment occurring in another state or country if either the alleged perpetrator or the child resides in Minnesota. 3. Legal Procedure Updates: It outlines the process for appealing decisions made by relevant commissioners or executive boards, including deadlines for filing appeals and requirements for serving notices to involved parties.

Overall, the bill ensures that Minnesota can address child maltreatment cases connected to its residents, even if the incidents occur outside the state's borders.
