Priority position of nonprofit organizations modified to receive certain sate energy grants.
HF 3686 modifies Minnesota's state energy grant program by changing the priority order for matching federal energy funds. It moves nonprofit organizations from being grouped with businesses (previously clause 3) to being grouped with investor-owned utilities (new clause 4) in the priority list for grant awards. This change directly affects nonprofits and investor-owned utilities seeking state-matched grants for federal energy programs. The bill does not create new funding but alters which entities receive priority when applying for these specific matching grants.
