SF 4966 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Certain organizations authorization to use grant awards to pay administrative costs for the Lights On program grant

This bill allows nonstate organizations contracted to run the Lights On program to use grant funds for administrative costs, provided they submit a detailed list of these expenses in their required reports. Currently, the law prohibits counties, cities, towns, and law enforcement agencies from using such funds for administrative purposes, but this measure creates an exception for private partners. The change applies immediately upon enactment and aims to clarify how different types of organizations can manage their grant money while maintaining transparency through itemized reporting.
