Science Museum of Minnesota history and cultural heritage preservation grant provided, and money appropriated.

HF 1969 appropriates $950,000 for fiscal year 2026 and $950,000 for fiscal year 2027 from Minnesota's arts and cultural heritage fund to the Science Museum of Minnesota. The funds are specifically designated for the museum to develop statewide educational programs and community-based exhibits focused on preserving Minnesota's history and cultural heritage. This bill directly affects the Science Museum of Minnesota as the recipient of the grant and impacts statewide educational initiatives across the state. The policy change is a straightforward funding allocation for heritage preservation activities, with no additional requirements or mechanisms beyond the specified grant amounts.
