The bill proposes the establishment of a Produce Rx pilot program aimed at improving public health through nutrition. It appropriates a total of $820,600 from the general fund, with $410,300 allocated for fiscal years 2026 and 2027, to the commissioner of health. This funding is designated for a grant to the city of Minneapolis to sustain and expand its existing produce prescription program, which will be implemented at ten federally qualified health centers and school-based clinics located in Hennepin and Olmsted Counties.

Additionally, the bill sets a base appropriation of $410,300 for fiscal years 2028, 2029, and 2030, while indicating that there will be no funding allocated for fiscal year 2031. This initiative aims to enhance access to fresh produce for individuals in need, thereby promoting healthier eating habits and addressing public health challenges related to nutrition.
