The bill appropriates $125,000 from the general fund for fiscal year 2027 to the commissioner of public safety, specifically for the Office of Justice Programs. This funding is designated for a grant to Citizens Against Sex Trafficking, aimed at addressing youth trafficking and sexual exploitation in the Twin Cities metropolitan area through their Power Over Predators prevention program. The organization is tasked with expanding its services to include youth, parents, and the broader community by collaborating with various groups, including youth organizations, recovery support groups, domestic violence support groups, and the Ramsey County correctional facility.

The goal of this initiative is to provide victim-centered and trauma-informed support, as well as education and awareness, to prevent youth trafficking, sexual violence, and exploitation in Minnesota. This appropriation is a one-time funding allocation intended to enhance prevention efforts and support for vulnerable youth in the region.
