Governor's Task Force on the Protection of Children

On September 22, 2014, Governor Dayton issued Executive Order 14-15 establishing the Governor's Task Force on the Protection of Children. The executive order states, "… recent cases have brought to the forefront of the State's collective conscious the maltreatment of children and the need to review the standards of child protection at a state, county, and local level." The task force was charged with reviewing Minnesota's existing child welfare system and offering recommendations for improvements. Task Force and work group meetings began in October 2014. A report, Initial Recommendations, was released in December 2014; final recommendations are due by March 31, 2015.

Bills to amend Minnesota's current "Maltreatment of Minors" statute have been introduced in the Minnesota House and Senate. (HF8/SF807). On February 23, 2015, the House of Representatives passed HF8. As passed by the House, the bill would implement two of the preliminary recommendations from the task force. HF8 now moves to the Senate for further consideration.

The Legislative Reference Library has archived available audio/video records of Task Force meetings. Permanent links to the meeting archives and reports can be found in the Task Force's record in the Library's Minnesota Agencies Database.
