Subdivision 1.

Centralized tracking.

The commissioner must maintain a
centralized tracking list of new agency projects estimated to cost more than $100,000 that
are paid for from the general fund.

Subd. 2.

New agency project.

(a) For purposes of this section, a "new agency
project" means:

(1) any new agency program or activity with more than $100,000 in funding from
the general fund; and

(2) any preexisting agency program or activity with an increase of $100,000 or more
above the base level in general fund support.

(b) For purposes of this section, a new agency project does not include:

(1) general aid programs for units of local government, or entitlement programs
providing assistance to individuals; or

(2) a new program or activity or increase in a program or activity that is mandated
by law.

Subd. 3.

Transparency requirements.

The centralized tracking list maintained by
the commissioner must report the following for each new agency project:

(1) name of the agency and title of the project;

(2) a brief description of the project and its purposes;

(3) the extent to which the project has been implemented; and

(4) the amount of money that has been spent on the project.

Subd. 4.

Timing and reporting.

The commissioner must display the information
required by subdivision 3 on the department's Web site. The list shall be maintained in
a widely available and common document format such as a spreadsheet that does not
require any new costs to develop. The commissioner must report this information to the
chairs of the house of representatives Ways and Means Committee and the senate Finance
Committee quarterly and must update the information on the Web site at least quarterly.
