Bill > SF1090

This bill appropriates $500,000 from the state's general fund in fiscal year 2026 to the Minnesota Commissioner of Health specifically for conducting lead risk assessments. The funding will be evenly split, with $250,000 going to the Minneapolis Health Department and $250,000 going to the St. Paul-Ramsey County Public Health Department. These grants are intended to support lead risk assessments for children with elevated blood lead levels, as outlined in Minnesota Statutes, section 144.9504. An important stipulation of the bill is that none of the appropriated funds can be used for administrative purposes, ensuring that the full amount goes directly to conducting risk assessments. Lead risk assessments are critical public health interventions that help identify potential sources of lead exposure in children's environments, which can cause serious developmental and health problems if left unaddressed.
