Republicans said 25 hearings exposed widespread gaps in oversight and recommended new enforcement tools after reviewing fraud across state programs.
- On Wednesday, the Republican-led Minnesota House Fraud Prevention and Oversight Committee adopted its majority report, concluding a two-year investigation into alleged fraud across state-administered programs.
- Republicans allege over $9 billion in unchecked fraud spanning multiple state agencies, including the Feeding Our Future scandal involving nearly 80 people charged with about $250 million in illicit claims.

- DFL Rep. Dave Pinto criticized the report as 'partisan nonsense and speculation,' citing the committee's release of the 80-page document less than 24 hours before the vote without Democratic input.
- Chair Kristin Robbins proposed creating an Independent Office of Inspector General and implementing electronic attendance verification to halt payments when program budgets increase by more than 50% annually.
