Notices to public authorities in dissolution cases clarified, and Supreme Court Council on Child Protection expiration date modified.
This bill clarifies notification requirements for public authorities in family law cases involving children, requiring parents receiving public assistance to provide specific personal information to ensure child support obligations are established. It also extends the expiration date of the Supreme Court Council on Child Protection from January 2026 to June 2027 and adjusts the final report deadline from January 2026 to December 2026. The legislation allocates $1,000,000 in fiscal year 2025 for the council's establishment and administration, with funds available until June 30, 2027. These changes directly affect families undergoing dissolution or custody proceedings and the Minnesota Supreme Court Council on Child Protection.
