The bill proposes appropriations for public television in Minnesota, specifically allocating funds for matching grants, equipment grants, and block grants. It mandates that the commissioner of administration must consider recommendations from the Minnesota Public Television Association before distributing these funds.
The bill outlines specific financial allocations from the general fund: $1,750,000 for matching grants and $350,000 for equipment grants in both fiscal years 2026 and 2027, along with an additional $1,000,000 for block grants in each of those years. These appropriations are intended to support public television under Minnesota Statutes, section 129D.13.
