HF2665 Summary

• Establishes a Minnesota Eligibility System Executive Steering Committee composed of representatives from the Department of Human Services, MNsure board, Association of Minnesota Counties, and MN.IT Services to govern the eligibility system for medical assistance, MinnesotaCare, and qualified health plan enrollment.

• Modifies MNsure board composition by replacing the commissioner of human services position with a governor-appointed member representing the general public, reducing the commissioner's automatic seat to a regular appointed position subject to legislative confirmation.

• Requires the steering committee to establish governance structure, set system goals and priorities, allocate resources, and submit quarterly reports to the Legislative Oversight Committee on Minnesota eligibility system funding and expenditures.

• Mandates all steering committee meetings be held in the State Office Building, available for live streaming on the legislature's website, with documents posted prior to review and all votes recorded individually.

• Applies open meeting law requirements to both the MNsure board and the steering committee, and makes MNsure board decisions requiring a vote subject to conflict of interest and lobbying restrictions.
