Commissioner of administration funding provided to facilitate cultural exchanges involving diverse Minnesota communities, and money appropriated.

HF 2085 appropriates funds from Minnesota's arts and cultural heritage fund to the Commissioner of Administration for a grant to the city of St. Paul. The funds are designated for planning and hosting cultural exchange events that celebrate relationships between diverse Minnesota communities and St. Paul's sister cities in Southeast Asia. The bill allocates unspecified amounts for fiscal years 2026 and 2027. This is a procedural funding measure, not a substantive policy change, directly affecting St. Paul's cultural programming and partner cities.
