Bill > SF3403

This bill appropriates $21 million in each of fiscal years 2026 and 2027 from the general fund to the commissioner of health, specifically to support foundational public health responsibilities for community health boards and Tribal governments. The funding will be divided into two main components: one portion will be distributed to community health boards under Minnesota Statutes section 145A.131 for their defined foundational public health responsibilities, and the other portion will be provided as grants to Tribal governments under Minnesota Statutes section 145A.14 to support their own foundational public health responsibilities. Foundational public health responsibilities typically refer to core public health services that ensure basic health protections and services for communities, such as disease prevention, health monitoring, and community health assessment. By providing this targeted funding, the bill aims to strengthen local and Tribal public health infrastructure and capabilities across Minnesota.
