The bill proposes an appropriation of $1 million from the general fund to the commissioner of employment and economic development for a grant to Al Maa'uun, which was formerly known as the North at Work program. Specifically, the bill allocates $500,000 for fiscal year 2026 and another $500,000 for fiscal year 2027.

The purpose of this grant is to support a strategic intervention program aimed at connecting participants with meaningful and sustainable living-wage employment. This funding is designated as a one-time appropriation, indicating that it is not intended to be a recurring expense in future budgets.
