The bill proposes an appropriation of $1,000,000 for each of the fiscal years 2026 and 2027 from the workforce development fund to support performance grants for Twin Cities R!SE. These funds are designated for training programs aimed at individuals who face barriers to employment, thereby enhancing workforce development initiatives in Minnesota.
The appropriated funds will be managed by the commissioner of employment and economic development and are intended to be a one-time allocation, available for use until June 30, 2028. This initiative aligns with existing provisions under Minnesota Statutes, section 116J.8747, which governs performance grants in the state.
