AI Summary

This bill appropriates a total of $1.5 million to the Hmong American Partnership (HAP) across two fiscal years through funds from different state accounts. Specifically, $500,000 will be allocated in fiscal year 2026 from the workforce development fund, and an additional $1 million will be split between the workforce development fund and general fund in fiscal year 2027. The grant is designated to support HAP's work in several key areas including job training, employment services, technology assistance, business development, lending and financial services, capacity building, wealth management, and community empowerment services.
