SF1835 (Legislative Session 94 (2025-2026))
Grants appropriation to provide legal representation for children in need of protection or services and children in out-of-home placement
AI Generated Summary
This bill, introduced in the Minnesota Senate, proposes appropriating $150,000 for both fiscal years 2026 and 2027 from the state's general fund to the commissioner of public safety. The funds would be used as a grant for an organization that provides legal representation to children in need of protection or services, as well as those in out-of-home placement. The grant requires a matching contribution in an equal amount from non-state funds, which may include in-kind contributions such as volunteer attorney time, cash, or a combination of both. These funds are in addition to any other appropriations for children's legal representation.
