The bill proposes several amendments and technical changes to the Minnesota Statutes concerning the Department of Administration. Key changes include the designation of the Department of Administration as the lead agency under the 21st Century Assistive Technology Act, replacing the previous reference to the 1998 act. Additionally, the Minnesota Assistive Technology Advisory Council is established to fulfill responsibilities under this act, with the governor appointing its members. The bill also introduces new provisions regarding reimbursements for services and materials provided by the commissioner, including deadlines for reporting and requirements for advance payments to revolving funds. Furthermore, the bill revives and reenacts Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 4A.07, effective retroactively from July 1, 2023, and repeals Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 16B.328, subdivision 2, which previously mandated the development of a model ordinance for outdoor lighting fixtures. Other amendments include changes to the procedures for capital projects, vehicle transfers, and the evaluation and reporting processes for various state departments. The bill aims to streamline operations and enhance compliance with federal laws while ensuring effective management of state resources.
