The bill establishes a career pathways program in emergency medicine, specifically appropriating $300,000 from the workforce development fund for Independent School District No. 294, Houston, to support the Minnesota Virtual Academy's initiative. This funding is designated for a program that may include up to two semesters of courses leading to certification as an emergency medical responder or emergency medical technician, with the appropriation available until June 30, 2028. The grant money can also be utilized to enhance student participation through additional academic and counseling support services provided by the enrolling school district, and the program aims to reach underserved populations, including students of color and those from low-income families.

Additionally, the bill mandates that Independent School District No. 294 submit annual reports to the relevant legislative committees from January 15, 2027, through January 15, 2029. These reports must detail students' experiences, document program spending and participation, provide demographic information on participants, and include recommendations for improving career pathways programs statewide. The reports will also track the number of participants who took and passed national certification exams while enrolled in the program.
