This bill proposes to update current statutes by appropriating an additional $3,000,000 and 43 full-time equivalent (FTE) positions to the Department of Economic Security specifically for adult protective services in the fiscal year 2026-2027. This funding is intended to enhance the resources available for protecting vulnerable adults.

The bill introduces new language that specifies the appropriation of these funds and positions, which will be added to existing appropriations for the fiscal year. There are no deletions or modifications to current law; the bill solely adds this new provision to support adult protective services.
