Bill > SF3287

This bill appropriates $497,500 in both fiscal years 2026 and 2027 from the general fund to the Minnesota commissioner of veterans affairs, specifically to provide a grant to Metro Meals on Wheels. The grant funds will be used for two primary purposes: (1) delivering home-prepared meals directly to veterans, and (2) offering technical assistance, enrollment support, outreach services, and volunteer recruitment help for member programs. The bill requires Metro Meals on Wheels to submit detailed reports to the commissioner of veterans affairs and legislative committee chairs by September 1st of each fiscal year, with these reports explaining exactly how the grant money was spent and documenting the number of veterans and service members served by the program. Importantly, this is designated as a one-time appropriation, meaning the funding is not intended to be recurring beyond these two specific fiscal years.
