This bill mandates the commissioner of administration to develop and provide a comprehensive online grants management training program for state agency staff. The new subdivision added to Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 16B.97 outlines specific requirements for the training, which must include essential curriculum for grants management managers and supervisors, instruction on the state's grants management policies, identification of fraud indicators, and an examination to assess understanding of the training content.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that all state agency staff assigned to grant management responsibilities are required to complete the initial training before taking on their job duties and must participate in continuing education on an annual basis. This initiative aims to enhance the effectiveness and accountability of grants management within state agencies.
