The bill appropriates a total of $1 million from the general fund for the fiscal years 2026 and 2027 to the Minnesota Department of Health. This funding is designated for a grant to Change the Outcome, a nonprofit organization focused on opioid prevention and education. The initiative aims to provide various educational resources and support to middle and high school students, as well as communities across Minnesota.

Specifically, the grant will fund data-centered learning opportunities that highlight the dangers of opioid use, instruction on prevention strategies and overdose recognition, information on emerging drug trends such as fentanyl and xylazine, and access to resources for individuals struggling with substance use disorders. This comprehensive approach seeks to enhance awareness and equip individuals with the necessary tools to combat the opioid crisis effectively.
