Minor technical bill would let MDVA staff read-only access DCYF Maxis data for veterans housing program
Summary
Senate File 1706 would allow selected Minnesota Department of Veterans Affairs staff working on a veterans' stable housing initiative read-only access to the Department of Children, Youth and Families' MAXIS database for eligibility verification; the bill was laid over.
Senate File 1706, described by Senator Kupek as "a small, but important technical fix," would permit selected Minnesota Department of Veterans Affairs (MDVA) staff working in the Veterans Stable Housing initiative to have read-only access to the Department of Children, Youth, and Families (DCYF) MAXIS database to verify eligibility and complete entry for veterans seeking benefits.
Kupek told the committee MDVA and DCYF staff had collaborated on the measure and that access would be limited to select MDVA staff with read-only permissions so they could not alter records. "This is a common sense change to help Minnesota get and to maintain functional 0 for veterans home," Kupek said.
Committee members had no questions and the measure was laid over.
