Celebrating 50 years of Southeast Asians in Minnesota appropriation

This bill appropriates funds from the arts and cultural heritage fund to support events celebrating 50 years of Southeast Asian communities in Minnesota. It directs the commissioner of administration to provide subgrants through Visit Saint Paul to community organizations representing these groups. Organizations receiving funds must provide a 10% match and use the money for events between May 1 and December 31, 2025 (with reimbursement available for events through June 30, 2025). The bill directly supports Southeast Asian community organizations in hosting commemorative activities during this milestone year.
