AI Summary
This bill appropriates $500,000 in both fiscal years 2026 and 2027 from the arts and cultural heritage fund to the commissioner of agriculture for grants to county agricultural societies. The grants aim to enhance arts access and education and to preserve and promote Minnesota's history and cultural heritage through county fairs. Specifically, the funding will be distributed equally among the state's 95 county fairs, supplementing existing aid distributions. The commissioner of agriculture is tasked with developing grant-making criteria and guidance, and must seek input from interested parties when creating guidelines for projects and events that showcase the state's agricultural, historical, and cultural heritage.
