The bill appropriates funds for the Minnesota Board on Aging, allocating $1,995,000 for fiscal year 2026 and $2,071,000 for fiscal year 2027 from the general fund to the commissioner of human services. This funding is intended to enhance the Board's capacity to comply with federal regulations and improve services under the Older Americans Act.

Specifically, the bill provides for the addition of several full-time equivalent positions: one to ensure compliance and assist area agencies on aging, another for policy development related to the Older Americans Act, two to support the Senior LinkAge Line, and 18 additional staff for area agencies on aging contact centers. This appropriation is intended to address increased service demands and operational needs, and it is added to the base budget for the Minnesota Board on Aging.
