Bill > SF1138

This bill appropriates $1 million total ($500,000 in fiscal years 2026 and 2027) from the state's general fund to the Minnesota Commissioner of Health, specifically to provide a grant to an organization called Change the Outcome for comprehensive opioid prevention and education activities. The funded program will focus on four key areas: (1) providing data-driven educational opportunities about opioid dangers to middle and high school students and communities across Minnesota, (2) teaching prevention strategies and how to assess personal risk and recognize overdose symptoms, (3) sharing information about emerging drug trends including fentanyl, xylazine, and counterfeit pills, and (4) connecting people with resources and support for those dealing with substance use disorders. The bill aims to address the ongoing opioid crisis by targeting education and awareness, particularly among younger populations, and providing critical information about substance abuse risks and resources.
