This bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 12.221, subdivision 6, regarding the disaster assistance contingency account. The key change involves the reporting date for the state disaster assistance appropriations and expenditures, which is shifted from January 15 to January 31. This adjustment aims to provide more time for the necessary data collection and reporting to the chairs and ranking minority members of the house of representatives Ways and Means Committee and the senate Finance Committee.

Additionally, the bill maintains the structure of the disaster assistance contingency account, which is funded through the special revenue fund in the state treasury. It outlines the appropriations for various forms of disaster assistance, including cost-sharing for federal assistance and state public disaster assistance. The bill also ensures that funds appropriated to the disaster assistance contingency account do not lapse and remain available until expended, thereby enhancing the state's capacity to respond to disaster-related needs effectively.
