This bill appropriates $8 million from the Minnesota state general fund in fiscal year 2026 to the commissioner of employment and economic development, specifically designated as a grant to the American Swedish Institute.

The appropriation is considered a one-time funding allocation and will remain available until the project is either completed or abandoned, in accordance with Minnesota Statutes, section 16A.642. The bill specifies that it will take effect the day after final enactment, providing a clear timeline for implementation of the proposed renovations.
