Federally qualified health centers subsidies appropriation

SF 1621 appropriates $2.5 million from the general fund for each of fiscal years 2026 and 2027 to provide subsidies to federally qualified health centers (FQHCs) in Minnesota. These centers, which serve underserved communities and provide primary care, directly benefit from the funding under Minnesota Statutes section 145.9269. The bill authorizes the commissioner of health to distribute these funds to eligible FQHCs to support their operations. This is a funding measure, not a policy change, with no additional requirements or program modifications specified.
