Bill > SF1689

This bill provides a funding increase for regional and local dementia grants administered by the Minnesota Board on Aging. Specifically, the bill appropriates $750,000 from the state's general fund in both fiscal year 2026 and fiscal year 2027, totaling $1.5 million over two years. These funds will be used to support grants under Minnesota Statutes section 256.975, subdivision 11, which likely relates to programs and services supporting individuals with dementia and their caregivers. By allocating these dedicated funds, the bill aims to enhance local and regional efforts to address dementia-related challenges, potentially supporting services such as support groups, education, respite care, or other community-based interventions for people affected by dementia.
