This bill creates a new Human Services Systems Steering Committee to oversee and recommend improvements to Minnesota's human services information technology systems, which are used by counties and state agencies.

This bill requires nonemergency medical transportation providers in Minnesota to equip their vehicles with global positioning systems and rear-facing cameras, while also mandating that they compile trip information and keep recordings for two years.
