Opioid prevention and education funding provided, and money appropriated.

HF 1047 allocates $500,000 for fiscal year 2026 and $500,000 for fiscal year 2027 from the general fund to the Minnesota Department of Health. This funding is specifically directed to the nonprofit organization Change the Outcome to implement opioid prevention and education programs. The programs will provide data-centered learning in Minnesota middle and high schools and communities, teach prevention strategies and overdose recognition, share information on emerging drugs like fentanyl and xylazine, and connect individuals with substance use disorder resources. The bill directly affects schools, community groups, and Minnesotans at risk of opioid misuse.
