$200,000 is appropriated in fiscal year 2016 from the general fund to the adjutant general of military affairs for a grant to the USS Minnesota Commissioning Committee.

Grant funds support activities related to the commissioning of the USS Minnesota.

Grant is conditional on a 1:1 match, requiring each state-appropriated dollar to be matched with a private sector dollar.

USS Minnesota Commissioning Committee must certify to the adjutant general by June 1, 2015, the amount of private sector funds raised.

Acceptable matching funds are private sector contributions received by the committee that have not been used to match any other state grant.
