This bill mandates the establishment of a comprehensive program to address myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) in Minnesota. It requires the commissioner of health to issue grants aimed at increasing awareness and understanding of ME/CFS among healthcare professionals, patients, and the general public. The grants will support educational outreach and the development of resources to improve diagnosis and treatment of ME/CFS. Additionally, the commissioner of human services is tasked with awarding grants to enhance access to social services for individuals affected by ME/CFS. Both commissioners are required to consult with members of the ME/CFS community during the grant process and provide technical assistance to ensure effective outreach, particularly in underserved areas.

Furthermore, the bill establishes a ME/CFS program to conduct community assessments and epidemiological investigations to monitor the impact of ME/CFS and related conditions. A report detailing the effectiveness of the grants and the program's findings is to be submitted to the legislature by December 1, 2027. The bill also includes appropriations from the general fund for fiscal year 2026 to support these initiatives, ensuring that funding is available until June 30, 2028.
