AI Generated Summary

Purpose

This measure provides a one-time funding boost to support youth intervention programs. It directs a specific amount from the General Fund to the state’s Department of Children, Youth and Families to fund supplemental grants aimed at addressing immediate or emerging needs for early interventions that help youth who have experienced trauma.

Main Provisions

  • Funding and timeframe

    • A one-time appropriation of $5,000,000 in fiscal year 2027 to the commissioner of children, youth and families for youth intervention program supplemental grants under Minnesota Statutes section 142A.43.
    • The General Fund source may be used for these supplemental grants in this section.

  • Administrative costs

    • The commissioner may use up to 10 percent of the appropriation for administrative costs.

  • Relation to existing law

    • Sections 142A.43 subdivisions 2 and 3 do not apply to these supplemental grants under this section.
    • This is explicitly a one-time appropriation, not an ongoing funding change.

  • Grant limits and eligibility

    • Supplemental grants may not exceed $50,000 per grantee.
    • Only existing youth intervention program grantees from the most recent grant cycle are eligible to receive supplemental grants.

  • Deliverables for grantees

    • Eligible grantees must submit a work plan, in a time and manner prescribed by the commissioner, describing immediate or emerging needs for early interventions to address trauma experienced by the youth they serve.

Significant Changes to Existing Law

  • Creates a one-time augmentation to the Youth Intervention Program funding, specifically allocating $5,000,000 for supplemental grants in FY 2027.
  • Alters how these supplements interact with Minnesota Statutes 142A.43 by exempting them from subdivisions 2 and 3.
  • Establishes per-grantee grant caps ($50,000) and narrows eligibility to only those grantees from the most recent grant cycle.
  • Adds a mandatory work plan requirement to ensure funds address trauma-related, early intervention needs.

Implementation Notes

  • The appropriation is designated for a future fiscal year (FY 2027) and will be administered by the commissioner of Children, Youth and Families.
  • Grant administration and reporting requirements will be defined by the commissioner, including the timeframes for submitting work plans.
