Bill > SF1632

This bill appropriates $42,000 from the workforce development fund to the Minnesota commissioner of employment and economic development specifically for a grant to Aspirus Lake View Hospital, a nonprofit organization, to address local healthcare workforce needs. The grant's purpose is to support the training of up to 12 new certified nursing assistants (CNAs), with funds that can be used for training program expenses, curriculum development, certification testing, and even a retention bonus for trainees who complete the program. The funding is designated for fiscal year 2026 and will remain available until June 30, 2027, which allows flexibility in implementing the training program. By targeting CNA training, the bill aims to help address potential healthcare workforce shortages in the local community by providing financial support to create new healthcare professionals.
