AI Summary
This bill establishes the Minnesota Migration Act, which acknowledges and apologizes for the state's history of slavery, discrimination, and systemic racism against Black Minnesotans. The bill appropriates $2 million to study the effects of slavery and institutional racism on Black Minnesotans, including the economic benefits that accrued to owners and businesses that participated in slavery and anti-Black practices. The steering committee will then make recommendations on the form of compensation that should be awarded and the mechanisms through which it should be dispersed, as well as identify those eligible for the compensation.
