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. The funds are designated for a grant to the museum, aimed at enhancing its heritage arts and cultural vitality programs. This includes providing classes, exhibits, and presentations, as well as outreach efforts to educate the public about the Somali community and its heritage in Minnesota.

Additionally, the funding will be used to increase the museum's hours of operation and to offer free and reduced-fee programming for schools and community events. This initiative seeks to promote cultural understanding and engagement within the community while supporting the museum's mission to celebrate and preserve Somali heritage.
