AI Summary

This bill appropriates a total of $1.4 million from the state's general fund ($700,000 in fiscal year 2026 and another $700,000 in fiscal year 2027) to the Minnesota Commissioner of Human Services, specifically designated as a grant for Restoration for All, Inc. The grant is intended to support culturally relevant mental health, substance use disorder, and suicide prevention services for Minnesota's African immigrant refugee community. Additionally, the grant funds may be used to address physical and mental wellness needs of elderly populations and provide mental health support and suicide prevention resources for underrepresented students in higher education. The appropriation is classified as a one-time funding allocation, meaning it is not part of a recurring annual budget. By targeting specific community groups that may face barriers to mental health services, the bill aims to improve access to culturally sensitive mental health resources and support for vulnerable populations.
