The bill directs the commissioner of children, youth, and families to develop a plan aimed at reducing paperwork associated with child protection cases by January 15, 2026. This initiative will involve collaboration with counties, local social services agencies, and Minnesota's Tribal governments. The plan is required to include a summary of proposed changes to current practices, a timeline for implementation, and procedures for ongoing input from stakeholders to ensure that the changes effectively benefit children in placement, foster care providers, Tribes, counties, and private child placing agencies.

The bill emphasizes the importance of streamlining processes to enhance the efficiency of child protection services while maintaining a focus on the needs of children and families involved in these cases. By incorporating feedback from various stakeholders, the commissioner aims to create a more effective and user-friendly system that minimizes unnecessary bureaucratic burdens.
