Bill > SF3001

This bill appropriates a total of $22,250,000 ($11,125,000 in each of fiscal years 2026 and 2027) from the state's general fund to the Minnesota Commissioner of Human Services specifically to support programs addressing sexually exploited youth and youth at risk of sexual exploitation. At least $9,000,000 per fiscal year must be dedicated to specific interventions, including street outreach, emergency shelter, regional navigators, and housing services for these vulnerable youth. The funding is designated under Minnesota Statutes, section 256K.47, which likely provides the legal framework for services targeting sexually exploited youth. By allocating significant resources to these programs, the bill aims to provide critical support, protection, and resources for young people who are experiencing or at risk of sexual exploitation, with a focus on comprehensive assistance through multiple service channels like shelter, navigation, and housing support.
