Bill > HF3263

This bill appropriates $1,200,000 from the workforce development fund to the Minnesota commissioner of employment and economic development, specifically designating the funds as a grant to the Asian Economic Development Association (AEDA). The grant is intended to support AEDA's collaboration with the coalition of Minnesota Asian Building Trades Entrepreneurs (MABTE) and related firms, with the goal of helping these businesses grow through training, hiring, and capacity-building initiatives. The funding is a one-time appropriation for fiscal year 2026 and will remain available until June 30, 2027, which provides the organization with flexibility in using the funds over approximately one year. By targeting support for Asian-owned businesses in the building trades sector, the bill aims to enhance workforce development and economic opportunities for a specific community of entrepreneurs in Minnesota.
