Technology portals creation and implementation by the commissioner of children, youth, and families to connect individuals with support systems appropriation

This bill appropriates specific funds for fiscal years 2026 and 2027 to create technology portals on the Minnesota Department of Children, Youth, and Families (DCYF) website. The portals will directly connect vulnerable children and families with community support systems, including churches, nonprofits, and civic organizations. The funding is a one-time appropriation from the general fund, requiring DCYF to develop and implement these online tools. The bill focuses on improving access to existing community resources through a digital platform, without altering eligibility or service requirements.
