The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 16B.97, by adding a new subdivision focused on grants management training. It mandates the commissioner of administration to develop an online, on-demand training program specifically for state agency staff involved in grants management. The training program must cover essential curriculum for grants management managers and supervisors, state grants management policies, fraud indicators, and include an exam to assess understanding of the material.

Additionally, the bill requires that all state agency staff assigned to grants management responsibilities complete initial training before starting their duties and participate in annual continuing education to maintain their knowledge and skills in grants management. This initiative aims to enhance the effectiveness and accountability of grants management within state agencies.
