Allied Radio Matrix for Emergency Response (ARMER) grants appropriation

Summary

The bill earmarks $10 million from the 2027 general fund for grants that help local governments, federally recognized tribes, and state agencies buy or upgrade portable and mobile radios compatible with Minnesota’s ARMER system. Each local unit can receive one grant, must match at least 5% with non‑state funds, and a third of the money must go to metropolitan areas. The program is overseen by the public safety commissioner and the Statewide Emergency Communications Board.
