AI Summary
This bill appropriates $10 million in fiscal year 2026 to the Minnesota Department of Agriculture specifically for a grant to CelluComp, a company developing an innovative material additive. The purpose of the grant is to support the commercialization of a technology that enables the production of fiber-based barrier packaging, which aims to reduce the use of perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and plastics in packaging products.

The appropriation is designated as a one-time funding and will be available until July 1, 2027, suggesting a time-limited project with a specific goal of developing more sustainable packaging alternatives.
