The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 383B.908, subdivision 5, to require that the Hennepin County board must approve the annual budget of the corporation by a majority vote. This change emphasizes the need for a democratic process in budget approval, ensuring that a simple majority is sufficient for the board to make financial decisions.

Additionally, the bill maintains the requirement for the county board to receive an annual audited financial statement and to ensure that the budget addresses efficiencies and revenues that contribute to stabilizing or reducing county liabilities for indigent care. The county board's right to conduct an independent audit of the corporation's finances is also preserved, reinforcing the importance of financial oversight.
