Department of Children, Youth, and Families statutory infrastructure created; and statutes moved and copied.

This bill establishes the Department of Children, Youth, and Families in Minnesota, creating a new state agency to oversee child welfare, youth services, and family support programs. It grants the department's commissioner the authority to accept federal and private funding, make contracts with various organizations, and submit biennial reports on performance goals that focus on equity, program coordination, and reducing barriers for families. The legislation also reorganizes existing state laws by moving and copying relevant statutes into new chapters while repealing outdated sections to align with the new departmental structure.
