This bill, introduced in the Minnesota Senate (S.F. No. 1835), proposes appropriating $150,000 in both fiscal years 2026 and 2027 from the general fund to the commissioner of public safety. The funds will be used as a grant for an organization that provides legal representation to children in need of protection or services and children in out-of-home placement. The grant requires a matching contribution from non-state funds, which may be in-kind (such as volunteer attorney time), cash, or a combination of both. This appropriation is in addition to any existing funding for children's legal representation.
