In 1984 the council's duties relating to American Indian Programs were transferred to the American Indian Advisory Council.

Stat. 3.885 Subd. 11. The LCPFP's 2013 Recommendations called for keeping the council and 2014 Minn. Laws Chap. 286 Art. 7 Sec. 7 extended the group's expiration date to June 30, 2018.
