The department shall establish and administer a case management program, contingent upon the availability of funds authorized for the program, and conducted in coordination with the self-employment loan program and other state or federal programs providing financial or technical assistance administered by the department. The case management program shall assist in furnishing information about available assistance to clients seeking to establish or expand small business ventures, furnishing information about available financial or technical assistance, evaluating small business venture proposals, completing viable business start-up or expansion plans, and completing applications for financial or technical assistance under the programs administered by the department.

In administering the program, the department may contract with service providers to deliver case management assistance under this section. A service provider may be any entity which the department determines is qualified to deliver case management assistance, including a state agency, a private for-profit or not-for-profit corporation, or other association or organization. The department shall establish rules necessary to carry out this section, including schedules for providing contract payments to service providers, based on the number of hours of case management assistance provided to a client.
