Bill > SF670

This bill appropriates $2.5 million in both fiscal years 2026 and 2027 from the state's general fund to the commissioner of employment and economic development. The funding is specifically designated for grants to support employment support services for individuals with mental illness. These grants will be distributed to programs that provide evidence-based employment support services, as defined under Minnesota Statutes sections 268A.13 and 268A.14. The bill aims to not only sustain existing programs but also expand services to areas of Minnesota that currently lack evidence-based employment support programs, and to support programs that have not previously received state funding. By targeting employment support services for people with mental illness, the bill seeks to improve job opportunities and economic integration for this population, recognizing the challenges they may face in obtaining and maintaining employment.
