This bill appropriates funding for local emergency management in Minnesota. It allocates $12 million per year for fiscal years 2026 and 2027 from the state’s general fund to the commissioner of public safety, who will distribute the funds equally among the state's 87 counties, 11 federally recognized Tribes, and four cities of the first class. The funding cannot replace existing federal emergency management funding.

The funds can be used for planning, training, equipment purchases, infrastructure improvements, and addressing emerging threats.

Recipients must submit an annual report by March 15 detailing how the funds were used. The state auditor may audit the use of funds to ensure compliance, and recipients must maintain detailed records for review.
