AI Generated Summary

This bill, H.F. No. 1662, modifies existing provisions related to veterans' data and human services data access in Minnesota. Specifically, it amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, sections 13.461, subdivision 27, and 197.065 to allow the Commissioner of Veterans Affairs to electronically access the MAXIS database (maintained by the Department of Human Services).

The purpose of this access is to verify eligibility for veterans-related programs, including:
- State Soldiers Assistance Program,
- Veterans Stable Housing Initiative, and
- Supplemental Security Income/Social Security Disability Insurance Outreach, Access, and Recovery program.

Additionally, the bill ensures that veterans are connected to all available state and federal resources for which they qualify.
