The bill appropriates funds for student mental health grants through the Minnesota Department of Education. It specifies that a designated sum from the general fund will be allocated to the commissioner of education for the fiscal year indicated. The grants are intended for organizations that focus on improving student mental health by providing opportunities for students to disconnect from electronic devices and social media, engage in physical activities, participate in collaborative experiences, and foster in-person relationships. Applicants for these grants must demonstrate that their programs effectively enhance mental health outcomes for students.

This appropriation is a one-time allocation, available until June 30, 2029, and is set to take effect on July 1, 2026. The bill emphasizes the importance of supporting mental health initiatives in schools, recognizing the need for students to engage in activities that promote well-being and social interaction.
