The bill proposes an appropriation of funds from the arts and cultural heritage fund to support the development of cultural studies materials specifically for underrepresented groups in Minnesota. It allocates a specified amount for fiscal years 2026 and 2027 to the commissioner of administration, who will distribute competitive grants aimed at creating high-quality academic resources that reflect the cultural and ethnic diversity of communities lacking adequate representation in educational materials.

The targeted groups for these materials include, but are not limited to, the Hmong, Karen, Somali, and Oromo cultures, as well as other oral-based cultures without a formal writing system. Grant recipients are required to collaborate with school districts that plan to implement these materials, ensuring that the resources developed are relevant and beneficial for educational purposes.
