BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF MINNESOTA:

Section 1.

Minnesota Statutes 2010, section 256.0112, is amended by adding a
subdivision to read:

new text begin Subd. 9. new text end

new text begin Contracting for performance. new text end

new text begin In addition to the agreements in
subdivision 8, a local agency may negotiate a supplemental agreement to a contract
executed between a lead agency and an approved vendor under subdivision 6 for the
purposes of contracting for specific performance. The supplemental agreement may
augment the lead contract requirements and rates for services authorized by that local
agency only. The additional provisions must be negotiated with the vendor and designed
to encourage successful, timely, and cost-effective outcomes for clients, and may establish
incentive payments, penalties, performance-related reporting requirements, and similar
conditions. The per diem rate allowed under this subdivision must not be less than the rate
established in the lead county contract. Nothing in the supplemental agreement between a
local agency and an approved vendor binds the lead agency or other local agencies to the
terms and the conditions of the supplemental agreement.
