Bill > SF1919

This bill appropriates a total of $1.1 million ($550,000 in each of fiscal years 2026 and 2027) from the workforce development fund to the Minnesota commissioner of employment and economic development. The funds are specifically designated as a grant to the International Institute of Minnesota to provide workforce training for New Americans (typically referring to recent immigrants or refugees) in industries experiencing workforce shortages. The appropriation is considered a onetime funding allocation, meaning it is not intended to be a recurring annual expenditure. The bill aims to support the integration of New Americans into the state's workforce by providing targeted training programs that can help address labor needs in specific industries while simultaneously offering economic opportunities to immigrant populations.
