The bill proposes an appropriation of funds for the Hospitality Minnesota Education Foundation to support the ProStart hospitality and tourism management program in high schools. This initiative aims to address workforce shortages in the hospitality sector by providing students with essential culinary and management education, tools, skills, professional development opportunities, and scholarships.

Specifically, the bill includes new legal language that designates the commissioner of education as the recipient of the appropriated funds from the general fund for the specified fiscal years. It emphasizes that the grant money must be utilized for educational purposes related to hospitality and clarifies that this funding is a one-time appropriation.
