Minnesota Board on Aging appropriation

This bill appropriates $1.995 million for fiscal year 2026 and $2.071 million for fiscal year 2027 from the general fund to the Minnesota Board on Aging. It adds four specific staff positions: one for federal compliance and technical assistance to area agencies on aging, one for Older Americans Act policy development, two for Senior LinkAge Line service demands, and 18 additional contact center staff for area agencies. These funds directly support the Board on Aging, seven area agencies on aging, and the Senior LinkAge Line program. The appropriation increases staffing capacity to meet growing service needs and ensure compliance with federal requirements.
