The bill establishes a disability inclusion pilot project in Minnesota, appropriating $4,000,000 from the general fund for fiscal year 2025 to Lifeworks Services, Inc. The project aims to promote workforce diversity by encouraging employers to hire individuals with disabilities and educating businesses on the economic advantages of inclusive employment. It will also provide coaching on affordable accommodations, assist individuals with disabilities and their families in navigating services, and support culturally specific services by entrepreneurs from rural, Black, Indigenous, or People of Color communities.

Additionally, the pilot project will implement community-requested support services, invest in safe community spaces for training, and conduct a statewide disability inclusion assessment to enhance accessibility in businesses and community areas. The initiative is designed to ensure equal access across all six Minnesota planning areas, including rural and Tribal regions, and is a one-time appropriation.
