This bill, introduced by Hicks Hanson J. and Norris, aims to allocate funds for antipoverty measures by supporting community action grants. Specifically, it proposes an appropriation of $2,700,000 from the general fund for each of two fiscal years (2026 and 2027). These funds are to be managed by the commissioner of children, youth, and families in accordance with certain sections of Minnesota Statutes that guide the distribution and use of community action grants. The bill was initially read and has been directed to the Committee on Children and Families Finance and Policy for further discussion and evaluation.
