This bill establishes a grant program under Minnesota Statutes, section 145.904, aimed at funding youth sports physicals provided by mobile health evaluation and screening clinics. The program, administered by the commissioner of health, requires entities applying for grants to demonstrate matching funds from nonstate sources amounting to at least 25% of the requested grant. The mobile clinics are tasked with scheduling visits to schools, providing essential health screenings, and disseminating information on preventive health care to families. The bill outlines specific requirements for the youth sports physicals, including various health assessments and mental health screenings, and mandates that uninsured students receive these physicals at no cost.

Additionally, the bill appropriates $1,000,000 for fiscal year 2026 and $600,000 for fiscal year 2027 from the general fund to support the grant program. Mobile clinics are also required to collect and report data on the services provided, including the number of physicals conducted and referrals made, to help the commissioner identify trends and improve service delivery. This initiative aims to enhance access to necessary health evaluations for youth participating in sports, particularly in underserved areas.
