SF684

This bill, SF No. 684, concerns the Minnesota Department of Human Services and its responsibility to communicate federal approvals of state legislative enactments to the revisor of statutes. The proposed legislation requires the commissioner of the Department of Human Services to make annual reports detailing which state provisions are contingent on federal approval and update on the status of these provisions. The deadlines for these reports are July 1 for a list of new contingent provisions and September 1 for a list of previously noted provisions, indicating which have received federal approval since the last report. If no federal approvals were obtained, this is to be clearly stated in the September report. Additionally, the commissioner can be directed to remove any provision from future reports once it has received federal approval. The bill also mandates that a designated employee from the Department of Human Services must verify the accuracy of these reports.
