This bill appropriates $150,000 from the arts and cultural heritage fund for the fiscal year 2026 to support a commemorative program marking the 50th anniversary of the Vietnam War and the Southeast Asian Conflict. The funds will be allocated to the Board of Directors of the Minnesota Humanities Center to facilitate a joint commemoration program, as outlined in previous legislation.

The new legal language specifies the appropriation and its intended purpose, ensuring that the funds are used to honor the historical significance of the Vietnam War and the Secret War in Laos. This initiative aims to recognize and commemorate the contributions and experiences of those affected by these conflicts.
