HF 4365 Minnesota House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Commissioner of administration required to review agency grants management practices and establish and enforce improvements.

This bill requires the commissioner of administration to review how state agencies manage grants and to create and enforce improvements to those practices. It directly affects state executive agencies that administer grants by giving the commissioner new authority to set statewide policies, oversee grant solicitation documents, and suspend or debar grantees for up to three years for violations. Key provisions include establishing a central contact for grant policy questions, creating a single list of all competitive grant opportunities, and requiring agencies to submit grant solicitations for review at dollar levels set by the commissioner. The bill also allows the commissioner to focus review efforts on high-risk grants and to approve exceptions to general policies for specific programs that expire or are renewed every five years.
