AI Summary
This bill modifies Minnesota's higher education grant program by establishing a new special revenue fund account specifically dedicated to providing grants for foster students. The bill creates a new subdivision (Subdivision 9) in section 136A.1241 of Minnesota Statutes, which establishes an account where money can be deposited to support foster grants. The funds deposited into this account will be automatically appropriated to the commissioner of the Office of Higher Education to be used for providing grants to eligible foster students. This legislative change appears aimed at creating a dedicated funding mechanism to support educational opportunities for students who have been in the foster care system, ensuring a more structured and consistent approach to providing financial assistance for their higher education.
