Interventions and supports related to fetal alcohol spectrum disorders; fetal alcohol spectrum disorders establishment; fetal alcohol spectrum disorder-related grants appropriation

This bill establishes a new grant program to support individuals and families affected by fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD) in Minnesota. It appropriates $1 million for fiscal year 2026 and $1 million for fiscal year 2027 from the general fund to the commissioner of health. The funds will be awarded to a statewide organization focused exclusively on FASD prevention and intervention, requiring it to develop programming that provides education, resource navigation, support groups, and social connection opportunities for people with FASD and their caregivers. The bill directly affects Minnesotans living with FASD and their families by expanding access to targeted support services.
