The bill establishes a Human Services Systems Steering Committee in Minnesota, tasked with providing recommendations to the commissioners of human services, information technology services, and children, youth, and families regarding the development and administration of human services information technology systems. The committee will consist of various appointed members, including representatives from state departments and county associations, and will meet quarterly to discuss system goals, resource allocation, and major decisions. Additionally, the committee is required to report annually on system funding, expenditures, and recommendations for improvements, starting January 30, 2027.
