AI Generated Summary
Purpose
- Create funding for youth intervention programs in Minnesota by appropriating designated dollars from the state’s general fund.
Main Provisions
- Section 1: Appropriation of $3,000,000 in fiscal year 2026 and $3,000,000 in fiscal year 2027 to the Commissioner of Children, Youth, and Families for youth intervention programs.
- Source: General fund.
- Legal authority: These appropriations are for youth intervention programs under Minnesota Statutes section 142A.43.
- Ongoing status: The amounts are ongoing and added to the base funding, meaning they become a permanent part of the regular budget going forward.
Effects on Law and Finances
- Adds new ongoing funding to the base budget for youth intervention programs.
- Funds flow to the Commissioner of Children, Youth, and Families for programs described under statute 142A.43.
- The financial impact is limited to the specified annual amounts for FY2026 and FY2027, with the intention of making them ongoing.
Relationship to Existing Law
- Uses the authority and framework of Minnesota Statutes section 142A.43 to support youth intervention programs.
- Changes the funding level by adding new, ongoing base funding, not by creating a new program or changing eligibility rules.
Significance and Potential Impact
- Provides sustained financial support to youth intervention initiatives, potentially expanding services, improving access, or enhancing program capacity.
- By adding to the base, the funding is more likely to endure beyond a single year, assuming ongoing budget decisions.
Implementation/Timing
- Funding timing corresponds to fiscal years 2026 and 2027, with ongoing status beginning in those years.
Summary of What It Seeks to Accomplish
- Increase and stabilize financial support for youth intervention programs through a dedicated, ongoing General Fund appropriation to the state agency responsible for children, youth, and families, under the existing statutory framework.
