Commissioner of health funding provided for grants for substance misuse prevention, education, and recovery programs; and money appropriated.

HF 2211 allocates $3.6 million from the general fund for each of fiscal years 2026 and 2027 to the Minnesota Commissioner of Health. This funding is specifically for grants to local and Tribal health departments to support substance misuse prevention, education, and recovery programs under Minnesota Statutes §144.197, subd. 4. The bill directly affects health departments that will receive these grants to expand community-based services. It does not create new requirements but provides dedicated funding for existing program frameworks focused on addressing substance misuse.
