Bill Summary

A bill for an act relating to workforce development; appropriating money for displaced homemaker programs.

AI Summary

This bill appropriates $350,000 in funding for each of fiscal years 2026 and 2027 to support displaced homemaker programs through the Minnesota Family Resiliency Partnership. The money will be drawn from the workforce development fund and distributed by the commissioner of employment and economic development via the adult career pathways program to existing nonprofit and state displaced homemaker programs. A displaced homemaker is typically an individual who previously depended on a spouse's income but is now without that financial support, often due to divorce, separation, disability, or death of a spouse. These are designated as one-time appropriations, meaning the funding is not expected to be recurring in future budget cycles. The bill aims to provide financial assistance to help displaced homemakers, who often face significant economic challenges, by supporting programs designed to assist them in developing career skills, finding employment, and achieving financial independence.
