The bill directs the commissioner of children, youth, and families in Minnesota to develop a plan aimed at reducing paperwork associated with child protection cases. By January 15, 2026, the commissioner, in collaboration with counties, local social services agencies, and Minnesota's Tribal governments, is tasked with creating a streamlined approach to minimize the required documentation. This plan will include a summary of proposed changes to current practices, a timeline for implementation, and procedures for ongoing input from stakeholders.

Additionally, the bill emphasizes the importance of incorporating feedback from counties and Tribal governments into the implementation process. The goal is to ensure that the proposed improvements effectively benefit children in placement, foster care providers, Tribes, counties, and private child placing agencies, thereby enhancing the overall efficiency and effectiveness of child protection services.
