The bill establishes an Avian Influenza Prevention Program, allowing the commissioner of agriculture to award grants to poultry producers in Minnesota for implementing measures to prevent the transmission of avian influenza from wild birds to domestic poultry. The program requires grant recipients to document a cost-share of 20% for the activities funded by the grants, with the possibility of reducing this amount by up to $2,000 to account for time and labor costs. Eligible prevention measures include various deterrents such as lasers, visual deterrents, and sound systems. Grant recipients must also demonstrate a good faith effort to prevent the spread of avian influenza, maintain proper documentation, and report annually on the effectiveness of their methods.

Additionally, the bill appropriates funds from the general fund for the avian influenza prevention grants, specifying amounts for fiscal years 2026 and 2027. The provisions of the bill, including the establishment of the program and the appropriation of funds, will take effect the day following final enactment.
