Enhanced oversight of state grants required for Minnesota agencies.

The bill mandates the commissioner to create general grants management policies and procedures for all executive agencies. It requires agencies to conduct virtual and in-person monitoring visits based on grant size and perform financial reconciliations before final payments. The commissioner may approve exceptions to these policies for particular grant programs, which expire or renew after five years. The commissioner also oversees professional and technical service contracts and IT spending related to grants management systems.
