Requirements for grant administration policies and training added.

This bill requires the Minnesota Department of Human Services to implement consistent policies for managing grants and mandates training for its staff who handle grant-related tasks. Employees involved in reviewing applications, awarding funds, or disbursing payments must complete comprehensive, in-person training at no cost to them during work hours before performing these duties. The legislation also obligates the department to train grant recipients on compliance requirements, such as reporting and payment procedures, as a condition for receiving funding. Additionally, the department must keep detailed records of all training sessions for three years and ensure that training materials are interactive and led by qualified instructors.
