AI Summary
This bill appropriates $200,000 total ($100,000 in each of fiscal years 2026 and 2027) from Minnesota's arts and cultural heritage fund to the Minnesota Humanities Center to support a statewide youth poet laureate program. The funding will be used to provide a grant to a nonprofit organization to manage a competitive program that selects a Youth Poet Laureate between the ages of 13 and 19, modeled after the National Youth Poet Laureate program. The goal of the program is to recognize and celebrate young poets in Minnesota, providing opportunities to highlight the literary talents of youth across the state. By creating this program, the bill aims to support and promote young writers and provide a platform for emerging poetic talent among teenagers.
