Bill > SF1151

This bill appropriates $400,000 from Minnesota's general fund in fiscal year 2026 to the commissioner of employment and economic development, specifically for a grant to FilmNorth, a nonprofit organization. The grant is designed to support the Minnesota film industry's growth and development through multiple strategic approaches, including career-connected learning, workforce development, and business development. Notably, the grant has a specific focus on supporting individuals from marginalized or rural communities, which suggests an intentional effort to increase diversity and opportunity in the state's film industry. By providing this funding, the bill aims to help FilmNorth create statewide plans, programs, and resources that can help expand and strengthen Minnesota's film sector while promoting more inclusive professional pathways.
