HF 2922 appropriates $1.382 million annually for fiscal years 2026-2027 to fund community service grants for Minnesota's public educational radio stations, including emergency information dissemination in foreign languages. It also allocates $142,000 yearly for equipment grants covering repairs, rentals, and purchases under $500.
