Bill > HF3154

This bill appropriates $400,000 total in state funding for the Rural Policy and Development Center, specifically allocating $200,000 in fiscal year 2026 and another $200,000 in fiscal year 2027. The money will be provided from the state's general fund to the commissioner of agriculture, who will distribute the funds as grants to the Rural Policy and Development Center, an organization established under Minnesota Statutes section 116J.421. The center likely focuses on research, policy analysis, and development initiatives specific to rural communities in Minnesota, though the bill itself does not detail the precise use of these grant funds. The appropriation appears designed to support the center's ongoing work in understanding and addressing rural economic and social challenges.
