The bill appropriates funds to support employment opportunities for individuals with disabilities in Minnesota. Specifically, it allocates $450,000 for fiscal years 2026 and 2027 from the workforce development fund to Minnesota Diversified Industries, aimed at providing inclusive employment services. Additionally, it designates $250,000 from the general fund for fiscal year 2026 to assist individuals with disabilities through a unified work model that includes virtual, online, and in-person career skills classes enhanced with virtual reality tools.

Furthermore, Minnesota Diversified Industries is required to submit a report by January 15, 2028, detailing the demographics of individuals served, the hours of programming delivered, outreach efforts to employers, and recommendations for future career skills delivery methods. This report will be directed to the chairs and ranking minority members of the relevant legislative committees overseeing labor and workforce development policy and finance. Both appropriations are classified as onetime funding, with the second appropriation available until June 30, 2027.
