The bill proposes an appropriation of $1,000,000 for each of the fiscal years 2026 and 2027 from the arts and cultural heritage fund to support the Somali Museum of Minnesota. This funding is intended for a grant to the commissioner of administration, which will be used to enhance the museum's heritage arts and cultural vitality programs.

The allocated funds will facilitate various initiatives, including the provision of classes, exhibits, and presentations that promote awareness of the Somali community and its heritage in Minnesota. Additionally, the funding aims to increase the museum's hours of operation and offer free or reduced-fee programming for schools and community events, thereby fostering greater community engagement and cultural appreciation.
