Center of American Indian and Minority Health funding provided, and money appropriated.

HF 1980 appropriates $500,000 from the general fund for fiscal year 2026 and another $500,000 for fiscal year 2027 to support the Center of American Indian and Minority Health at the University of Minnesota Medical School in Duluth. This funding is directly provided to the University of Minnesota Board of Regents to sustain the center's operations. The bill makes no changes to existing policies but allocates specific state funds for this designated health center, which focuses on American Indian and minority health initiatives. The funding is targeted for two consecutive fiscal years without additional policy provisions.
