SF975

The bill titled S.F. No. 975 proposes allocating funds to support a program called "Art From the Inside." This initiative aims to use various art forms like visual arts, poetry, literature, theater, dance, and music to help meet the emotional, therapeutic, and rehabilitation needs of people who are incarcerated or on supervised release. The purpose is also to enhance safety in correctional facilities and the surrounding communities. Specifically, it suggests providing $150,000 in the year 2026 and the same amount in 2027 from the arts and cultural heritage fund to the Minnesota Humanities Center, which will oversee the grant for this program.
