Establishment of a task force on prevention of female genital mutilation required, report required, and money appropriated.

HF 3136 establishes a Minnesota task force to prevent female genital mutilation (FGM), directly affecting communities where FGM is practiced as a tradition or religious custom, as well as health and law enforcement agencies. The task force, appointed by the health commissioner by November 2025, must develop public education strategies, coordinate law enforcement efforts, improve data collection, and create resources to protect children from FGM. It requires annual reports to state leaders on outreach activities, including school-based education and partnerships with healthcare providers. The bill appropriates funds for the task force’s operations in fiscal years 2026 and 2027.
