Southeast Asian American film festival and Hmong music festival appropriation

This bill appropriates $150,000 from the arts and cultural heritage fund for fiscal year 2026 to fund two cultural events. The funds will be granted to the Asian Economic Development Association (AEDA) to plan and produce a Southeast Asian American film festival and a Hmong music festival. The direct recipient is AEDA, and the primary beneficiaries are Minnesota's Southeast Asian American and Hmong communities through these cultural programming opportunities. The key provision is a specific grant for festival planning and production, not ongoing operational funding.
