Purpose

To provide funding to support sports-related activities for the children of military personnel and veterans.

Main Provisions

• This bill would appropriate 100,000 dollars from Minnesota’s general fund in fiscal year 2027.
• The funds would go to the commissioner of veterans affairs as a grant.
• The grant would be awarded to United Heroes League, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in Hastings, Minnesota.
• The purpose of the grant is to fund sports experiences, equipment, camps, and related activities for the children of military personnel and veterans.
• This is a one-time appropriation (not a continuing or ongoing funding commitment).

Context and Potential Impact

• The bill does not propose changes to existing law beyond authorizing the one-time grant.
• By supporting a nonprofit to run sports-oriented programs, it aims to provide recreational and potential therapeutic benefits to children connected to military service.

Significant Changes to Existing Law

• No changes to statutes are described; the bill only creates a onetime appropriation to fund a grant to a nonprofit for children’s sports activities.
