Reports on grants issued by the commissioner of veterans affairs required.

HF 1778 requires Minnesota's Commissioner of Veterans Affairs to submit annual reports starting January 15, 2026, detailing grants provided to organizations serving veterans. The reports must include specific data for each recipient: grant purpose and amount, prior grants received, other state/federal funding, numbers of veterans and family members served, program completion rates, and charitable giving ratios. If grants served veterans outside Minnesota, the report must list those states and explain the rationale. This bill directly affects the Commissioner’s office and the organizations receiving veterans' grants by mandating transparent, standardized reporting to legislative committees.
