  • Legislative Update
    LEGISLATIVE UPDATE Welcome to the first Child Care Aware Legislative Update of the 2021 legislative session. This narrative update, along with our Bill Tracker, will be posted each Tuesday (reflecting activity through the previous Friday) on the Child Care Aware of Minnesota website. Each week we will provide a brief overview of bills that have been introduced, action that has been taken at the committee level or on the floor, and any other pertinent news related to early care and education and school-age care issues. If you have additions to recommend to the bill tracker, please contact Ann McCully. OVERVIEW The Legislature convened on Tuesday, January 5 and is off to a quick start. There is no question that the state’s response to the impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic is the primary issue facing legislators as they begin this session. This also a budget year to set the state’s budget for July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2023, and while the economic picture has improved since the initial budget forecast last spring, there is still a projected budget deficit in the coming years, leading to some tough decisions ahead. More information about the budget projections can be found on the State Office of Management and Budget website. COMMITTEE STRUCTURE A new, two-year legislative session brings new members, new committees, and new committee assignments. While early care and education issues may show up in many places during the process, below are a few of the key committees that we will be watching. We encourage you to follow them as well! To find out about committee upcoming committee hearings and topics, visit the Minnesota State Legislature combined calendar page.

  • Office Memorandum
    Office Memorandum Date: December 21, 2016 To: Commissioners and Agency Heads From: Commissioner Myron Frans Phone: 651-201-8011 Subject: State Government Special Revenue (1200) Fund I am writing to you because your agency receives an appropriation from the State Government Special Revenue Fund (Fund 1200 in SWIFT). We are projecting a deficit in this fund and will need to take steps to resolve the deficit. Based on the November Forecast Consolidated Fund Statement, Minnesota Management and Budget (MMB) is now projecting that expenditures in this fund will exceed resources in the current fiscal year. Because of this, we are now anticipating a projected deficit of $2,877,000 in fiscal year 2017 in the 1200 Fund. The projected deficit is expected to grow by approximately $2 million each year from FY 2018-21. I am required by statute (MS 16A.152) to take action to resolve this deficit. I am asking for your cooperation to help my staff identify solutions to prevent the projected deficit from occurring. In the coming weeks, your Executive Budget Officer (EBO) from MMB will contact your agency to develop an understanding of current spending obligations and identify possible cancellations and remaining balances that may be available in order to resolve the deficit in the fund. I have asked my team to work with your agency so that we may develop a solution within the next several weeks. If you have any questions, please contact your EBO. We intend to publish the November Forecast Consolidated Funds Statement on December 22, 2016. This publication will officially report the anticipated deficit.
