The bill appropriates funds for significant improvements to the MAXIS and Medicaid Management Information System (MMIS) within the Minnesota Department of Human Services. Specifically, it allocates a specified amount from the general fund for fiscal year 2026 to develop and implement modernization plans or replacements for both systems. The improvements for MAXIS will focus on enhancing public assistance casework and will involve collaborative planning with counties and Tribal Nations. Similarly, the enhancements for MMIS will aim to improve health care claims and capitation payment processing, also through collaboration with relevant stakeholders.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that the appropriated funds must be exclusively used for the outlined modernization efforts and cannot be diverted for unrelated changes to either system or other information technology systems within the Department of Human Services. This funding is designated as a one-time appropriation, and the provisions of the bill will take effect the day after it is enacted.
