This bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 129D.17, by adding a new subdivision that clarifies the eligibility criteria for children's museums to receive competitive grants from the arts and cultural heritage fund. The new language specifies that only those children's museums that meet the A52 classification of the National Taxonomy of Exempt Entities, as recognized by the Internal Revenue Service, or a similar classification from a successor system, are eligible to apply for these grants.

The addition of this subdivision aims to ensure that the funds are awarded to organizations that meet specific standards, thereby enhancing the accountability and effectiveness of the grant program. This legislative change reflects a commitment to supporting quality children's museums that contribute to the arts and cultural heritage in Minnesota.
