Bill Summary

A bill for an act relating to workforce development; appropriating money for displaced homemaker programs.

AI Summary

This bill appropriates a total of $700,000 ($350,000 in each of fiscal years 2026 and 2027) from the workforce development fund to the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development specifically for displaced homemaker programs. The funds will be distributed through the adult career pathways program to existing nonprofit and state displaced homemaker programs. A displaced homemaker is typically an individual who has lost their primary source of income due to factors like divorce, widowhood, or a spouse's disability, and who has difficulty finding employment. The appropriation is designated as "onetime," meaning it is a one-time funding allocation rather than a recurring annual commitment. The bill aims to support the Minnesota Family Resiliency Partnership, which likely provides assistance and resources to help displaced homemakers reenter the workforce and achieve economic stability.
