Bill Summary

A bill for an act relating to human services; appropriating money for sexually exploited youth for safe harbor shelter and housing.

AI Summary

This bill appropriates $11,125,000 in both fiscal years 2026 and 2027 from the state's general fund to the Minnesota Commissioner of Human Services specifically to support services for sexually exploited youth and youth at risk of sexual exploitation. At least $9,000,000 of these funds in each fiscal year must be dedicated to critical support services, including street outreach programs, emergency shelter, regional navigators, and housing assistance. The bill references Minnesota Statutes section 256K.47, which likely provides the legal framework for these support services. By allocating these funds, the bill aims to provide comprehensive assistance to vulnerable young people who have experienced or are at risk of sexual exploitation, offering them critical resources like shelter, outreach, navigation services, and housing to help protect and support their safety and wellbeing.
