(ii) withhold funds from any grantee that does not submit a progress report required under the grant agreement until the grantee submits a satisfactory report, unless the grantee's inability to submit a progress report is caused by the executive agency, including but not limited to a malfunction or failure of the executive agency's grant portal.

 

(b) The commissioner may determine that it is cost-effective for agencies to develop and use shared grants management technology systems.  This system would be governed under section 16E.01, subdivision 3, paragraph (b).

(1) the potential grantee's history of performing duties similar to those required by the grant, whether the grant requires the potential grantee to perform services at a significantly increased scale, and whether the grant will require significant changes to the operation of the potential grantee's organization;

 

(2) for a potential grantee that is a nonprofit organization, the potential grantee's most recent Form 990 or Form 990-EZ filed with the Internal Revenue Service.  If the potential grantee has not been in existence long enough or is not required to file Form 990 or Form 990-EZ, the potential grantee must demonstrate to the agency's satisfaction that the potential grantee is exempt and must instead submit the potential grantee's most recent board-reviewed financial statements and documentation of appropriate internal controls or, if there is no such board, by the applicant's managing group.  At a minimum, the potential grantee's internal controls must require the segregation of duties concerning the authorization, disbursement, and recording of expenditures;

(4) evidence of good standing with the secretary of state under chapter 317A, or other applicable law;

(6) certification, provided by the potential grantee, that none of its current principals have been convicted of a felony financial crime in the last ten years.  For this section, a principal is defined as a public official, a board member, or staff with the authority to access funds provided by this agency or determine how those funds are used.

 

Sec. 8.  Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 16B.981, subdivision 3, is amended to read:

 

Subd. 3.  Additional measures for some grantees.  The agency may must require additional information and may provide enhanced oversight for grantees that have not previously received state or federal grants for similar amounts or similar duties and have not yet demonstrated the ability to perform the duties required under the grant on the scale required.  For nonprofit organizations, this additional information must include but is not limited to two additional years of Form 990 or Form 990-EZ filed with the Internal Revenue Service, where applicable.  Before awarding a grant, the agency must inquire about compensation that, in the agency's estimation, is in excess of the amount customarily paid to those in comparable positions.

 

Sec. 9.  Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 16B.991, subdivision 1, is amended to read:

 

Subdivision 1.  Criminal charge or conviction.  Each grant agreement subject to sections 16B.97 and 16B.98 must provide that the agreement will immediately be terminated suspended if the recipient is convicted of charged with a criminal offense relating to a state grant agreement and terminated if the recipient is convicted.
