This bill appropriates $5 million from the state's general fund to support capital improvements at the nursing home operated by the Red Lake Band of Chippewa. The money is designated for fiscal year 2027 and will be distributed through the commissioner of human services as a grant to the tribe. The funding is a one-time allocation intended to be used for physical upgrades or repairs at the facility until the funds are fully spent.
This bill establishes a property tax exemption for specific land owned by federally recognized Indian Tribes in Minnesota. The exemption applies only to property used to store medical clinic equipment and materials, located in cities with populations between 12,400 and 12,800 as of the 2020 census. The law limits the exemption to one qualifying parcel per tribe and excludes any land used for housing, parking, agriculture, or forestry. The exemption will take effect for property taxes payable in 2027.

This bill modifies Minnesota's property tax exemption rules for certain properties owned by federally recognized Indian tribes. It allows property used exclusively as medical clinics to be exempt from property taxes if located in cities with fewer than 100,000 people and owned by a tribe within Minnesota. The exemption is limited to no more than five contiguous parcels totaling 30,000 square feet and does not apply to properties used for housing, apartments, agriculture, or forestry. The changes take effect with the 2027 tax assessment year and the exemption will expire after taxes payable in 2038.

This bill adds specific definitions to Minnesota's medical cannabis laws to recognize Tribal programs. It creates terms for "Tribal medical cannabis board," "Tribal medical cannabis program," and "Tribal medical cannabis program patient" for federally recognized tribes within Minnesota. The key change allows cannabis businesses to distribute medical cannabis to Tribal program patients who present a Tribal-issued registration card and valid ID (like a Tribal ID or driver's license), rather than a state-issued registry card. This directly affects Tribal governments and enrolled patients participating in Tribal medical cannabis programs on tribal lands.

SF 2117 would expand Minnesota's medical assistance program to cover traditional health care practices provided by specific Indian health facilities. It requires the state to seek a federal waiver by October 2025 to cover care received at Indian Health Service facilities, tribal clinics under the Indian Self-Determination Act, or urban Indian organizations. Reimbursement would follow existing Indian Health Service outpatient rates, limited to one payment per day per enrollee. This policy change, effective January 1, 2026, directly affects medical assistance enrollees who access these traditional health services through qualified providers.
