efforts to ensure early identification and intervention for children with, or at risk of developing,
emotional disturbance, to improve the efficiency of the mental health funding mechanisms, and
to standardize and consolidate fiscal and program reporting. The recommended measures must
provide that client needs are met in an effective and accountable manner and that state and county
resources are used as efficiently as possible. The commissioner shall consider the advice of the
state advisory council and the children's subcommittee in developing these recommendations.
    Subd. 6. Inaccurate or incomplete reports. The commissioner shall promptly notify a
county or provider if a required report is clearly inaccurate or incomplete. The commissioner may

received as required by this section.

required by this section to complete the statewide report required in sections 245.461 and 245.487.
