AI Summary

This bill appropriates $1,000,000 from the general fund to the Minnesota Commissioner of Health in fiscal year 2026 to provide a grant to the Birth Justice Collaborative for developing and strengthening the African-American-focused Homeplace model in Hennepin County. The Homeplace model aims to improve maternal and child health outcomes by providing culturally centered healing and care during pregnancy and the postpartum period. The Birth Justice Collaborative is required to submit a report to the health commissioner by December 15, 2026, or 12 months after receiving the grant, detailing the implementation progress, outcomes achieved, and recommendations for future funding and potential program expansion. The appropriated funds will be available until June 30, 2028, giving the organization flexibility in implementing and developing the Homeplace model.
