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. Eligible producers must document a 20 percent cost-share for the activities funded by the grants, which can include various prevention measures such as lasers, visual deterrents, and sound systems. Grant recipients are required to maintain proper documentation, report annually on the effectiveness of their methods, and permit follow-up evaluations by the commissioner.

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 will take effect the day following its final enactment.
