This bill provides $500,000 in total funding to the University of Minnesota to establish a Center for Nursing Equity and Excellence, with $250,000 allocated in fiscal year 2026 and another $250,000 in fiscal year 2027. The funding will come from the workforce development fund, and the center will be created in collaboration with Minnesota State Colleges and Universities.

By focusing on these areas, the bill aims to strengthen Minnesota's nursing workforce and improve educational opportunities in the nursing field.
