Bill > SF1112

This bill appropriates a total of $8 million ($4 million in each of fiscal years 2026 and 2027) from Minnesota's general fund to the commissioner of children, youth, and families specifically to support food shelf programs. The funding will be allocated according to Minnesota Statutes, section 142F.14, which governs such food support initiatives. By specifying that these appropriations are "added to the base," the bill ensures that this funding becomes a recurring part of the state budget for food shelf programs, providing consistent financial support to help address food insecurity in Minnesota. The bill aims to provide reliable resources to local food shelves, which are critical community organizations that help provide food assistance to individuals and families in need.
