  • Title: Caregiver support program appropriations expiration date extension provision
  • Purpose (implied by title): Extend the expiration date of appropriations for the caregiver support program.

What the bill does

  • The bill would modify the expiration timing of appropriations allocated to the caregiver support program, effectively extending the period during which these funds remain available for use.
  • The exact extension (date or duration) would be specified within the bill text itself.

Key provisions and changes (as implied by the title)

  • Extension of funding expiration: Alters the statutory expiration date for caregiver support program appropriations to provide continued access to program funding beyond the current termination date.
  • Scope of extension: Applies specifically to the caregiver support program’s appropriations; other program funding or unrelated appropriations are not described in the available information.
  • Administrative implementation: Likely requires administrative action by the appropriating body (legislature) and relevant state agencies to reflect the new expiration date in the statutes or budget provisions.

Who is affected

  • Caregivers: Individuals receiving support services under the caregiver support program would benefit from continued availability of program funding.
  • Program administration: Minnesota state agencies (notably those handling human services and caregiver programs) would implement and monitor the extended expiration date for appropriations.
  • Budget/finance offices: Agencies responsible for tracking appropriations and ensuring funds remain available would need to align with the extended expiration date.

Procedural and timeline aspects

  • Introduced date: April 9, 2025
  • Legislative path: Referred to the Senate committee with jurisdiction over Human Services (SF 3352).
  • Related action: Companion bill HF 3116 in the House (indicating cross-chamber consideration may occur).
  • Next steps: The bill would proceed through committee hearings, potential amendments, and floor votes in both chambers before any final passage and potential signing into law.

Fiscal note and considerations

  • Fiscal impact: Not provided in the available information. Extending a expiration date typically preserves existing funding, but the actual budgetary effects would depend on the extension’s length and any related administrative requirements.

Remarks

  • The bill’s central element is a straightforward extension of the caregiver support program appropriations expiration date. For full details, including the exact extension period and any related policy conditions, the bill text and fiscal notes should be consulted once released.
