Bill > HF2544

This bill establishes a Dual Enrollment Task Force to comprehensively analyze and improve the funding mechanisms for dual enrollment programs in Minnesota. The task force will consist of 15 members, including legislators, education commissioners, representatives from various educational institutions, and stakeholders such as school board members, parents, and students. Their primary responsibilities include reviewing current dual enrollment funding formulas, analyzing cost variations across different types of institutions, examining funding transparency, identifying participation barriers for underserved students, and developing recommendations for formula adjustments and support services. The task force is required to submit a detailed report to legislative committees by May 30, 2026, with data-driven recommendations for improving dual enrollment funding and accessibility. The Department of Education will provide administrative support, and the task force will have legislative members appointed by July 1, 2025, with the first meeting to be convened by August 1, 2025. The task force will officially expire after submitting its report, which is expected to help create more equitable and transparent funding mechanisms for dual enrollment programs across Minnesota's educational landscape.
