Regional food bank grant program establishment and appropriation

This bill establishes a state-funded grant program to support regional food banks and Minnesota Tribal governments in distributing food to people in need. It appropriates $10 million for fiscal year 2027 (with $10 million each for 2028-2029), distributing funds based on poverty and unemployment rates in each area. Grant money can purchase food, personal hygiene products (like diapers), and cover transportation/distribution costs to approved sites, but cannot pay staff salaries. Recipients must report spending and ensure all distributed items are free at approved locations, with ineligible expenses requiring repayment to the state.
