The bill proposes an appropriation of funds for public television in Minnesota. Specifically, it allocates $5,000,000 for fiscal year 2026 and another $5,000,000 for fiscal year 2027 from the arts and cultural heritage fund. These funds are designated for grants to the Minnesota Public Television Association, aimed at supporting production and acquisition efforts.

The bill includes new legal language that establishes this appropriation and specifies that the funds will be administered by the commissioner of administration in accordance with Minnesota Statutes, section 129D.18. This initiative underscores the state's commitment to enhancing public television services through financial support.
