AI Generated Summary
Senate Bill SF No 27 proposes changes to ensure that funds from Minnesota's legacy funds are not used to cover indirect costs such as rent, utilities, and building maintenance unless these expenses can be directly linked to the administration of a specific funded program, project, or activity. The bill requires that any overhead costs paid from the legacy funds — which include the outdoor heritage, clean water, parks and trails, and arts and cultural heritage funds — must be specifically documented and justified as necessary and increased due to the funded activities. These funds should not exceed the documented increase in costs. This bill aims to ensure that the financial resources provided by these funds are used directly and efficiently towards their intended projects to maximize their impact.
