Bill > SF3187

This bill appropriates a total of $200,000 ($100,000 in each of fiscal years 2026 and 2027) from Minnesota's arts and cultural heritage fund to the Minnesota Humanities Center. The funds will be used to provide a grant to a nonprofit organization to establish and operate a statewide Youth Poet Laureate program. The program will select a young person between 13 and 19 years old as the Minnesota Youth Poet Laureate through a competitive process modeled after the National Youth Poet Laureate program. The goal of the program is to recognize and celebrate young poets and writers in Minnesota, providing them with a platform to showcase their literary talents. The appropriation demonstrates the state's commitment to supporting youth arts and cultural development by highlighting the creative achievements of young people in the literary arts.
