Legacy finance bill.
HF 2563 appropriates $23,000 in fiscal year 2026 to maintain the Legislative Coordinating Commission's dedicated website for legacy funding. The funds come from four existing Minnesota legacy funds: $7,000 from the outdoor heritage fund, $7,000 from the clean water fund, $5,000 from the arts and cultural heritage fund, and $4,000 from the parks and trails fund. This bill directly affects the Legislative Coordinating Commission, which is required by law to operate this website under Minnesota Statutes section 3.303, subdivision 10. The legislation ensures ongoing maintenance of this resource without creating new programs or altering funding allocation mechanisms.
