AI Summary

This bill appropriates $3 million total ($1.5 million in fiscal years 2026 and 2027) from the state's general fund to the Minnesota Office of Higher Education, specifically to provide a grant to CentraCare for medical residency programs located at Rice Memorial Hospital and St. Cloud Hospital. The funding is intended to support the establishment of new medical residency programs and tracks, as well as maintaining existing programs. The appropriation can cover a wide range of expenses related to these residency programs, including administrative costs, curriculum development, recruiting medical residents, training, and providing stipends to residents.
