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 in fiscal year 2026 from the arts and cultural heritage fund to the Minnesota Humanities Center's Board of Directors to establish a grant program specifically designed to support ethnic media organizations. The funding is intended to help these organizations create video content in languages other than English, with a requirement that the produced video content be made available through public, educational, and government access television (often abbreviated as PEG access television). By providing this targeted funding, the bill aims to promote diverse media representation and ensure that non-English speaking communities have access to media content that reflects their cultural experiences and languages.
