Bill > SF3451

This bill modifies a previously approved capital projects appropriation for Open Arms of Minnesota, a nonprofit organization that provides medically tailored meals to individuals with life-threatening illnesses. The original 2023 appropriation of $500,000 was intended to support the acquisition of kitchen equipment and establishment of a nutrition counseling center in Ramsey County. The bill now adjusts the language to specifically allow the funds to be used for capital equipment and HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) improvements for their nutrition counseling center building located in Minneapolis. The appropriation remains $500,000 and is available for expenditures made on or after July 1, 2023, with the amendment becoming effective the day after final legislative enactment. This modification provides more precise guidance on how the organization can use the previously allocated state funding for facility improvements.
