Legislative Audit Commission unanimously approves three program-evaluation topics; paid family leave provisionally recommended
Summary
The commission voted unanimously to select three program-evaluation topics for the spring cycle (MPCA feedlot permitting; PSEO; MDH mortuary science) and to provisionally recommend Minnesota paid family medical leave for later review, following the topic-selection subcommittee's report.
The Legislative Audit Commission unanimously approved the topic-selection subcommittee's recommendations to select three program-evaluation topics for the spring cycle and to provisionally recommend a fourth for later consideration.
Senator Dibble presented the subcommittee's recommendations and the clerk recorded the roll call vote as unanimous among members present. The selected topics are: feedlot permitting at the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency; Post Secondary Enrollment Options (PSEO); and mortuary science at the Minnesota Department of Health. The commission also provisionally recommended the Minnesota paid family medical leave program for discussion and potential selection during the fall topic-selection round; the office of the legislative auditor noted timing considerations and suggested some programs may benefit from additional operational maturity before a full evaluation begins.
The motion passed with recorded 'aye' votes from the members present; the commission asked OLA staff to publish the selected topics and coordinate start dates and scoping details with agencies and legislative offices.
Ending: The commission's action implements the subcommittee's recommendations for the spring evaluation slate; OLA and the commission will follow-up on scheduling and scope for each selected evaluation.
