The data interchange credentials will be issued to access the data required for notification under Minnesota’s Vulnerable Adult in accordance with the following terms:

1. Credentials will result in data on suspected abuse, neglect or financial exploited of a vulnerable adult, which may be criminal, being sent immediately to the law enforcement agency’s data system, by the Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS), as required under Minnesota Statutes 626.557.
2. Data received by the law enforcement agency’s system through the data interchange will be handled consistent with Minnesota Statutes 626.557, Minnesota Statues 13.82 Subd. 17 (h) and any other state or federal requirements.
3. The law enforcement agency agrees to perform testing before receiving production credentials from MNIT at DHS.
4. The law enforcement agency agrees to pull data received from DHS under this agreement into the agency’s data system at least once every 24 hours as required under Minnesota Statutes 626.557.
5. If data is not pulled into the law enforcement agency’s system every 24 hours, as agreed upon in this agreement for timely response to suspected crimes against a victim suspected to be a vulnerable adult, the law enforcement agency may be inactivated from the data interchange.
6. If the law enforcement agency’s system is down for 24hrs, the law enforcement agency agrees to immediately notify DHS Adult Protection at dhs.maarc.adultprotection@state.mn.us so your agency’s reports can be sent via secure email.
7. The law enforcement agency agrees to be in compliance with NIST SP 800-53r5 or (newer) controls for Authenticator Management where controls are applicable to ensure that unique identifiers are securely stored. Unique identifiers should only be accessed by those with a need to access, transferred securely, and access to credentials must be audited.

As an authorized representative of the above-listed agency, I accept the terms for the use of the credentials as detailed above.
