This bill amends various sections of Minnesota Statutes and Laws related to child protection and dissolution cases. It specifies that petitioners must notify public authorities of all dissolution proceedings involving children when either party is receiving or applies for public assistance. The notice must include the full names, Social Security numbers, and birth dates of the parties involved. Additionally, the bill outlines the court's responsibilities regarding child support determinations and stipulations, ensuring that support is set according to established guidelines.

Furthermore, the bill modifies the reporting timeline and expiration date for the Supreme Court Council on Child Protection. The council is now required to submit a progress report by July 15, 2025, and a final report by December 2026. The expiration of the council has been extended to June 30, 2027, and the appropriation for its establishment and administration has been increased to $1,000,000, available until the new expiration date.
