Bill > SF679

This bill appropriates $500,000 total ($250,000 in fiscal years 2026 and 2027) from the general fund to the Minnesota Commissioner of Public Safety to provide a grant to Hometown Hero Outdoors, a nonprofit organization based in Stillwater, Minnesota. The grant is specifically designed to support present and former law enforcement officers, firefighters, and emergency medical services personnel through two primary mechanisms: funding outdoor recreational activities and providing mental health services. The broader goals of this funding are to promote positive mental health, facilitate interactions with mental health professionals, enhance the quality of life and longevity for these public safety personnel, and provide public education. The bill aims to ensure that the organization can continue supporting individuals who are currently serving or have served in these critical public safety professions, recognizing the unique mental health challenges they may face in their challenging and often stressful work environments.
