SF1413

The bill, titled S.F. No. 1413, proposed by Senators Kupec and Kunesh, is focused on agriculture. It aims to allocate money from Minnesota’s general fund in the fiscal year 2026 to support a program designed to develop markets for continuous living cover crops. The bill mandates that the commissioner of agriculture must provide detailed reports on how the funds are used, including administrative expenses and the results achieved by the program. These reports are due on February 1, 2026, and February 1, 2027. Additionally, up to 6.5% of the allocated funds can be used for administrative costs. The funds provided by this bill will be available until June 30, 2028. This allocation and program are intended as a one-time initiative.
