Bill > SF1537

This bill appropriates a total of $4.7 million ($2.35 million in each of fiscal years 2026 and 2027) from Minnesota's arts and cultural heritage fund to Minnesota Public Radio (MPR). The funding is specifically designated for four key purposes: (1) creating original programming across on-air and digital platforms that will showcase artistic, musical, historical, and cultural content statewide; (2) enhancing the state's artistic and cultural ecosystem by partnering with working artists, musicians, historians, and writers; (3) expanding representation and support for Minnesota's communities of color and Indigenous communities in radio programming; and (4) supporting the preservation of and public access to MPR's historical audio archives. The appropriation aims to support MPR's broader mission of cultural engagement and preservation through diverse, statewide programming.
