This bill establishes a grant program aimed at supporting noncitizen immigrant youth in foster care in Minnesota. It appropriates $300,000 from the general fund for fiscal year 2027 to the commissioner of public safety, which will be used to facilitate partnerships between responsible social services agencies and nonprofit organizations. The funds are designated for determining the legal documentation status of children in need of protection or services and assisting those without proper documentation in attaining permanent legal status. The bill outlines specific purposes for the funds, including conducting screenings for identification and providing legal representation for noncitizen youth.

Additionally, the bill sets forth criteria for applicants seeking grants, requiring a partnership between a responsible social services agency and a qualifying nonprofit organization. It mandates that grants must be a minimum of $150,000 and emphasizes the confidentiality of data related to services provided to children under this program. The bill also specifies that such data is classified as private and can only be shared under certain conditions, ensuring the protection of sensitive information while allowing for necessary collaboration between agencies.
