Minn. Stat. § 142G.65
An employment and training service provider that is not included in a county's service agreement under section 142G.76, subdivision 4, because the county has demonstrated financial hardship under section 142G.54, subdivision 5, may appeal its exclusion to the commissioner of employment and economic development under this section.
An employment and training service provider that is not included by a county agency in the service agreement under section 142G.76, subdivision 4, and that meets the criteria in paragraph (b), may appeal its exclusion to the commissioner of employment and economic development, and may request alternative approval by the commissioner of employment and economic development to provide services in the county.
The commissioner of employment and economic development must notify the county agency when the commissioner grants an alternative approval to an employment and training service provider under subdivision 2. Upon receipt of the notice, the county agency must submit a revised service agreement under section 142G.76, subdivision 4, that includes the approved provider. The county has 90 days from the receipt of the commissioner's notice to submit the revised service agreement.
Notwithstanding subdivision 3, once a county meets the requirements of section 142G.54, subdivision 4, the commissioner may, but is not required to, act on a request by an employment and training services provider for alternative approval in that county.
