Bill > HF1984

This bill establishes new grant funding and support mechanisms for fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD) in Minnesota. Specifically, the bill directs the commissioner of health to administer grant funds to a statewide organization dedicated to FASD prevention and intervention. The grantee will be required to develop and implement programming that supports and educates individuals living with FASD, as well as their families and caregivers. The programming will include resource navigation, individualized and group support, education, and opportunities for social connection. The bill appropriates $1,000,000 in both fiscal years 2026 and 2027 from the general fund to support these FASD-related grants. Fetal alcohol spectrum disorders are a range of conditions that can occur in a person whose mother drank alcohol during pregnancy, potentially causing physical, behavioral, and learning challenges. This legislation aims to provide comprehensive support and resources for those affected by FASD.
