This first ever declaration underscores the importance of life-long learning in all stages of life, including budgeting and understanding credit, responsible borrowing, planning for retirement and consumer protection for all Minnesotans. During the first year of your term, I convened the first Financial Literacy Roundtable in April 2011 to identify what is already being done to improve financial literacy in Minnesota; pinpoint what stakeholders in the government; nonprofit, and private sectors can do together to achieve tangible progress; and gather suggestions for how the Minnesota Department of Commerce can contribute to the cause of financial literacy.

  • 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.

    DE PART ME NT OF m, HUMAN SERVICES Minnesota Department of Human Services Acting Commissioner Chuck Johnson Post Office Box 64998 St. Paul, Minnesota 55164-0998 Representative Matt Dean, Chair Health and Human Services Finance Committee 401 State Office Building 100 Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. St. Paul, MN 55155 February 27, 2018 Dear Rep. Matt Dean, I am writing to express concerns with HF2725, a bill that would repeal MNsure and create a new county­ based eligibility determination system for Medical Assistance (MA) and MinnesotaCare. This system would replace the Minnesota Eligibility Technology System (METS) and MAXIS and require counties to administer MinnesotaCare. The bill also establishes an information technology steering committee to direct development of the new system. The goal and impact of the bill is unclear as it is currently written. We are still assessing the potential unintended effects and disruptions this bill will create for our stakeholders, partners and the individuals we serve. Below are some of our preliminary concerns. OHS is designated as the single state agency required to administer and oversee the Medicaid (Medical Assistance) program. OHS ensures compliance with federal eligibility rules and establishes processes and procedures to ensure Minnesotans are able to enroll. The bill is unclear about how Medical Assistance and MinnesotaCare eligibility will be assessed and determined and how authority would be .divided between OHS, counties and the commissioner of Revenue. It is unlikely the federal government would approve of such a structure. It is also unclear how we would transition from METS to the new proposed system, or how the resources currently devoted to METS would impact the county-developed system.

    May 11, 2021 Sent Electronically Sen. Eric Pratt Rep. Mohamud Noor Sen. Jason Rarick Rep. Rob Ecklund Sen. Rich Draheim Rep. Liz Olson Sen. Karin Housley Rep. Rod Hamilton Sen. Kent Eken Rep. Kaela Berg Dear Chair Pratt, Chair Noor and members of the Jobs/Labor Conference Committee: Thank you taking public testimony last week and allowing the Minnesota Hospital Association an opportunity to share our opposition to Article 12 in the House bill mandating paid emergency leave for essential workers. Hospitals and health systems in MN have taken significant steps since the beginning of the pandemic to support their front line caregivers and health care heroes and this unfunded mandate will impose significant hardships for the vast majority of Minnesota hospitals and health systems. So, why is this provision so bad for hospitals and health systems? 1) The number of essential workers that hospitals and health systems employ is a very high percentage of our workforce given the nature of services we provide. 2) This 160-hours of paid leave is a costly benefit above what hospitals have already provided for their employees. Based on statewide hospital payroll amounts, and the $511 per day cap in the bill, this would cost hospitals up to $740 million if you assume all eligible employees were to claim this benefit. Even if only 50% of employees use the benefit, that is still $370 million. 3) The federal government provided funding to pay for a similar paid leave benefit, but ONLY for those employers who were impacted by the March 18, 2020 federal Families First Coronavirus Response Act, employers who were either government entities, or employers with less than 500 employees.
