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, educating businesses on the benefits of inclusive employment, and providing coaching on affordable accommodations. Additionally, it seeks to inform individuals with disabilities and their families about available services, support culturally specific services by diverse entrepreneurs, pilot community-requested support services, and create safe spaces for training and support.

The pilot project is designed to ensure equal access across all six Minnesota planning areas, including rural and Tribal regions, thereby addressing the needs of diverse communities. The funding is a one-time appropriation, and the project includes a statewide assessment to improve accessibility and inclusion in businesses and community spaces.
