Bill > HF2079

This bill appropriates a total of $42 million ($21 million in each fiscal year of 2026 and 2027) from the general fund to the Minnesota Commissioner of Health, specifically to support foundational public health responsibilities for community health boards and Tribal governments. The funding will be divided into two key allocations: one portion will be distributed to community health boards under Minnesota Statutes section 145A.131, to support their foundational public health responsibilities as legally defined, and the other portion will be provided as grants to Tribal governments under Minnesota Statutes section 145A.14, allowing each Tribal government to define and address their specific foundational public health needs. The bill aims to provide crucial financial support to local and Tribal health organizations to strengthen their capacity to deliver essential public health services and address community-specific health challenges.
