This bill (H.F. 2246) proposes appropriating funds from Minnesota’s general fund to the Department of Education for civic education grants. Specifically, it allocates $300,000 each for fiscal years 2026 and 2027 to the YMCA Center for Youth Voice. These funds will support civic education programs for youth under 18, provide teacher professional development, educational resources, and program support. The programs must focus on teaching students about constitutional principles, democratic foundations, governmental structures, and political processes. Any unspent funds from fiscal year 2026 will remain available in fiscal year 2027.
