County implementation of service delivery transformation requirements and information technology modernization projects appropriation

SF 2252 appropriates $5 million for county grants and $40 million for state agency IT upgrades in human services. It provides one-time funding to Minnesota counties to offset costs for implementing new service delivery systems and modernizing information technology infrastructure that connects with state agencies like the Department of Human Services and Department of Children, Youth, and Families. Counties will receive grants based on population served, while the $40 million targets specific system improvements for the Children, Youth, and Families Department. The bill focuses on enabling counties to interface with legacy state systems and supports collaborative IT projects between larger and smaller counties. All funding is designated for fiscal year 2026 with the state agency funds available until June 2027.
