The bill proposes the establishment of a grant program aimed at planning an American Indian focused birth center in Minnesota. It appropriates $350,000 from the general fund for fiscal year 2025 to the commissioner of health, specifically for the Native American Community Clinic. The funds are designated for engaging the community and developing strategies to improve access to culturally centered prenatal and postpartum care, ultimately aiming to enhance maternal and child health outcomes.

The Native American Community Clinic is required to utilize the grant for several key activities, including hiring a project manager, engaging with diverse American Indian communities to identify cultural care strategies, and completing predesign development and planning for the birth center. Additionally, the clinic must submit a report to the commissioner of health by December 15, 2025, detailing the needs and plans for the birth center, potential partnerships, financing strategies, and an anticipated timeline for development.
