The bill proposes an appropriation of $400,000 from the general fund for the fiscal year 2026 to support FilmNorth, an organization dedicated to the growth of the Minnesota film industry. The funds will be allocated to the commissioner of employment and economic development, with the aim of developing statewide plans, programs, and resources that enhance career-connected learning, workforce development, and business development within the industry.

A key focus of this initiative is to better support individuals from marginalized or rural communities, ensuring that the benefits of the film industry's growth are accessible to a diverse range of participants. This funding is intended to foster an inclusive environment that promotes economic development through the arts in Minnesota.
