HF 1866 Minnesota House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Allowable uses of school library aid modified.

HF 1866 modifies how Minnesota school library aid funds can be spent. The bill specifies that these funds must directly cover: salaries for library media specialists, electronic/computer equipment, IT infrastructure, digital resources, and library furniture/supplies. It updates Minnesota Statutes section 124D.992 to clarify these allowable uses, replacing previous language. The changes take effect for fiscal year 2026 and later.
