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 competitive grants awarded from the arts and cultural heritage fund are directed exclusively to qualifying children's museums, thereby promoting accountability and proper use of state resources in supporting cultural and educational initiatives for children.
