The bill appropriates a total of $700,000 from the general fund to the commissioner of health for the fiscal years 2026 and 2027. Specifically, it allocates $350,000 for each year to provide a grant to the University of Minnesota Foundation aimed at supporting Youth and AIDS Projects.
The funding is designated for the development, implementation, and evaluation of status-neutral strategies targeting Black males aged 15 to 34 who are at high risk for HIV. These strategies will focus on nonmedical case management and support services to address the health needs of this demographic.
