Minnesota African American Family Preservation and Child Welfare Disproportionality Act implementation dates delay

SF 3309 delays the implementation dates for provisions of Minnesota's African American Family Preservation and Child Welfare Disproportionality Act. It changes the effective date for multiple sections from January 1, 2027, to January 1, 2029, giving state agencies and counties more time to comply. The bill directly affects the Minnesota Department of Human Services (which must implement data disaggregation and compliance systems) and local counties administering child welfare services. Key provisions include delaying the start of data disaggregation requirements (from 2027 to 2029) and extending the phase-in program for Hennepin and Ramsey Counties (from 2027 to 2029). This is a technical adjustment to implementation timelines, not a change to the underlying policy requirements.
