Purpose

• To provide funding for capital improvements to the nursing home located in the Red Lake Nation.

Main Provisions

• Appropriates 5,000,000 dollars in fiscal year 2027 from the general fund.
• The money is for a grant to the Red Lake Band of Chippewa for capital improvements to the Red Lake Nation nursing home location.
• The grant is to be administered by the commissioner of human services.
• This appropriation is a one-time funding and remains available until spent, subject to Minnesota Statutes section 16A.642.

Impact and How It Works

• The funds are intended to upgrade or renovate the nursing home facility in the Red Lake Nation.
• Because it is a one-time appropriation, it is not described as ongoing funding beyond this grant.
• The spending follows the rules in Minnesota Statutes section 16A.642, which governs how unspent funds from an appropriation are handled and when they lapse.

Significant Changes to Existing Law

• Establishes a new one-time general fund grant specifically for capital improvements to the Red Lake Nation nursing home.
• The appropriation’s availability until spent aligns with, but is limited by, existing law (Minnesota Statutes section 16A.642).

Relevant note: This bill does not create ongoing annual funding for the nursing home; it provides a single, time-limited grant for capital improvements.
