Software modernization and outreach funding provided, and money appropriated.

This bill allocates $220,000 from the state's general fund to the Charities Review Council in fiscal year 2027 for software upgrades and outreach expansion. The funding will enable the council to update its cloud-based software for both internal operations and external use by nonprofit organizations receiving accreditation. These changes aim to improve the council's ability to conduct its accrediting process and extend accountability services to more organizations across Minnesota. The appropriation is designated as a one-time payment rather than recurring funding.
