SF 1201 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Require a report on school district and charter health insurance

This bill clarifies how Minnesota school districts and charter schools receive library funding. It specifies that for fiscal year 2024 and later, independent/special school districts get aid equal to the greater of $16.11 per adjusted pupil unit or $40,000, while charter schools get the greater of $16.11 per unit or $20,000. The change applies retroactively to fiscal year 2024. The bill directly affects school districts and charter schools by defining their library aid calculations under existing funding rules.
