Bill > HF981

This bill provides $500,000 in funding for each of fiscal years 2026 and 2027 to the Minnesota Commissioner of Health, specifically to be granted to an organization called Change the Outcome for comprehensive opioid prevention and education efforts. The grant will support four key activities: (1) providing data-driven educational programs about opioid risks in Minnesota middle and high schools and local communities, (2) teaching prevention strategies and how to assess personal risk and recognize overdose symptoms, (3) sharing information about emerging drug trends like fentanyl, xylazine, and counterfeit pills, and (4) connecting people to resources and support for those dealing with substance use disorders. By targeting young people and communities with evidence-based education and resources, the bill aims to address the ongoing opioid crisis and its potential impacts on public health.
