The bill aims to enhance education finance by increasing funding for the school unemployment aid account within the special revenue fund. It appropriates a specified sum from the general fund to the Department of Education for the fiscal years 2026 and 2027, specifically targeting unemployment aid for hourly workers during the summer term.
Key provisions include the establishment of an appropriation for the Department of Education and the stipulation that the funding is subject to existing requirements under Minnesota Statutes, section 124D.995. This legislative action is intended to support educational staff who may face unemployment during the summer months, thereby ensuring financial stability for these workers.
