This bill proposes an appropriation of funds for vocational rehabilitation, specifically targeting support for centers for independent living in Minnesota. It allocates a total of $7,011,000 for each of the fiscal years 2026 and 2027, which will be provided from the general fund to the commissioner of employment and economic development.
The funds are designated for grants to centers for independent living, as outlined in Minnesota Statutes, section 268A.11. This initiative aims to enhance the resources available for these centers, thereby improving vocational rehabilitation services for individuals with disabilities in the state.
