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 grant aims to support various initiatives, including providing data-centered learning opportunities about the dangers of opioid use in middle and high schools, instruction on prevention strategies and overdose recognition, information on emerging drug trends, and access to resources for individuals struggling with substance use disorders.

The bill emphasizes the importance of education and prevention in addressing the opioid crisis in Minnesota, targeting both youth and communities. By equipping individuals with knowledge and resources, the initiative seeks to reduce the impact of opioid misuse and promote healthier choices among residents.
