Senate Bill 346 establishes a grant program administered by the Department of Public Instruction to support individuals from racial minority groups pursuing licensure as school social workers. The bill specifies that grants will be available to those who are either employees of a school board or enrolled in an educational program leading to the necessary licensure. The definition of a "member of a racial minority group" includes individuals who identify as Black American, American Indian or Alaskan native, Hispanic, Asian or Pacific Islander, or those with mixed racial ancestry.

Additionally, the bill grants the Department the authority to create rules for the implementation of this grant program. The funding for these grants is outlined in the state budget, ensuring that financial resources are allocated for this initiative aimed at increasing diversity within the school social worker profession. The act will take effect the day after publication or on the second day after the publication of the 2025 biennial budget act, whichever is later.
