The bill proposes an appropriation of $20,000 from the arts and cultural heritage fund for the fiscal year 2027, specifically designated for a grant to the Minnesota Historical Society. This funding is intended to support a nonprofit organization in repairing and replacing technology necessary for digitizing various forms of legacy media, including videotapes, films, audio recordings, and print materials. The goal is to preserve Minnesota's history and make it accessible to the public.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that the technology funded by the grant must be utilized for converting media into a digital format, and the grantee is required to ensure that the digitized materials are shared with the public. This initiative aims to enhance the preservation of local stories, news, and documentaries, thereby enriching the cultural heritage of Minnesota.
