Bill > HF477

This bill modifies how workforce development fund appropriations are allocated by requiring that a percentage of grants to pass-through entities be dedicated to performance grants. Specifically, in fiscal year 2026, 25 percent of workforce development fund grants to pass-through entities must be performance-based grants, and in fiscal year 2027, this increases to 50 percent. Performance grants, as defined under Minnesota Statutes section 116J.8747, are likely funding awards that are tied to specific measurable outcomes or achievements in workforce development programs. This approach aims to incentivize and reward effective workforce training and employment initiatives by linking a portion of funding to demonstrated performance metrics, potentially encouraging more results-oriented approaches in workforce development programs.
