Loggers safety grant program appropriation

This bill appropriates $500,000 for fiscal year 2026 and $500,000 for fiscal year 2027 from the general fund to the commissioner of labor and industry. The funds support Minnesota's existing Loggers Safety Grant Program, established under 2021 laws, which provides financial assistance to loggers for safety equipment and training. The program directly benefits logging workers and employers by helping them adopt safety measures to reduce workplace hazards. This funding ensures the program continues operating with dedicated state resources for two fiscal years.
