Bill > HF1985

This bill appropriates a total of $5 million ($2.5 million in fiscal years 2026 and 2027) from the general fund to the Minnesota commissioner of employment and economic development. The funding is specifically designated for grants supporting evidence-based employment support services for individuals with mental illness. These grants will be administered under Minnesota Statutes sections 268A.13 and 268A.14, which likely define the parameters for such programs. The bill aims to both sustain existing employment support programs and expand services to areas of the state that currently lack such programs, including supporting programs that have not previously received state funding. By focusing on evidence-based services, the legislation emphasizes the importance of using proven, effective approaches to help individuals with mental illness obtain and maintain employment, potentially improving their economic stability and quality of life.
