The legislative bill presented here, H.F. No. by Virnig, aims to improve the communication and record-keeping of legislative enactments in the state of Minnesota that require federal approval to become effective. The bill stipulates that the commissioner responsible must regularly notify the revisor of statutes and other relevant legislative bodies when any provision under their jurisdiction becomes contingent on federal approval and when such approval is obtained.

Key points of the bill include: 1. Annual Reporting: Each year by July 1st, the commissioner must provide a report listing all legislative provisions enacted in the past year that have effective dates contingent upon receiving federal approval.

1. Status Update: By September 1st of each year, an update must be provided listing all previously enacted provisions that were contingent on federal approval. This report should detail which, if any, provisions received federal approval since the last report and specify the dates of these approvals.

2. Notification Format: These reports must be provided in a format prescribed by the revisor of statutes.

3. Accountability: An employee from the Department of Human Services must verify the accuracy of these reports following guidelines set by the revisor of statutes.

By formalizing these reporting requirements, the bill seeks to ensure clear tracking and transparency regarding the status and effectiveness of state legislations dependent on federal authorization.
