Bill > HF1004

This bill appropriates a total of $476,000 ($238,000 in each of fiscal years 2026 and 2027) from the workforce development fund to support the Minnesota Helmets to Hardhats program. The funding will be granted to Building Strong Communities and specifically aims to help National Guard members, reservists, active duty military personnel, and veterans participate in registered apprenticeship programs within the building and construction industries. The program is designed to facilitate career training and employment connections for military-connected individuals, with a strong emphasis on non-discrimination. The bill explicitly prohibits discrimination in program recruitment, selection, employment, and training based on characteristics such as race, color, creed, religion, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, marital status, physical or mental disability, receipt of public assistance, or age.
