Bill Summary
A bill for an act relating to arts and cultural heritage; appropriating money for ethnic media for public access television.
AI Summary
This bill appropriates $250,000 from the arts and cultural heritage fund in fiscal year 2026 to the Minnesota Humanities Center to establish a grant program specifically designed to support ethnic media organizations. The grants are intended to help these organizations create video content in languages other than English, with a requirement that the produced content be made available through public, educational, and government access television (often referred to as PEG access channels). By providing this funding, the bill aims to promote linguistic diversity and cultural representation in media content, ensuring that non-English speaking communities have opportunities to see their languages and experiences reflected in local television programming.
