The bill proposes an appropriation of funds from the general fund to the Commissioner of Education for the purpose of supporting the Hospitality Minnesota Education Foundation. Specifically, it allocates resources for grants aimed at enhancing the ProStart hospitality and tourism management program, which is designed to address workforce shortages in the hospitality sector within high schools across the state.

The grant money is intended to be utilized by the Hospitality Minnesota Education Foundation to provide students with a comprehensive curriculum that includes culinary and management education, as well as professional development opportunities and scholarships within the hospitality industry. This funding is characterized as a one-time appropriation, emphasizing its temporary nature in supporting these educational initiatives.
