MN SF4283

Amends Minnesota Statutes section 15.013 to authorize state agency heads to withhold payments to program participants who are subjects of credible fraud allegations under investigation

Requires agencies to notify program participants within 5 days of withholding payments, including reasons for withholding and information about the right to submit written evidence

Allows program participants to request administrative reconsideration within 60 days, during which the agency head must review all allegations, facts, and evidence to determine if withholding should continue

Classifies fraud-related data as confidential or protected nonpublic during the withholding period, but permits disclosure to federal, state, local, or law enforcement agencies to prevent fraud

Removes the previous July 1, 2027 sunset date and eliminates the former 60-day limit on administrative withholding, making the authority permanent
