Bill > HF105

This bill appropriates $42,000 in fiscal year 2026 from the workforce development fund to the commissioner of employment and economic development specifically for a grant to Aspirus Lake View Hospital, a nonprofit organization. The purpose of the grant is to support workforce training that will create up to 12 new certified nursing assistants (CNAs) to help local employers address healthcare staffing needs. The grant funds can be used flexibly, including covering training and curriculum expenses, paying for certification testing, and providing a retention bonus to trainees who complete the program. The appropriated funds will be available until June 30, 2027, giving the hospital time to implement and complete the training initiative. The bill aims to address workforce shortages in the healthcare sector, particularly in nursing assistance, by providing targeted financial support for training new healthcare professionals.
