Senate Bill 346 establishes a grant program administered by the Department of Public Instruction to support individuals from racial minority groups in obtaining the education required for a school social worker license. The bill specifies that grants will be available to individuals who are either employees of a school board or enrolled in a higher education program leading to licensure. The definition of a "member of a racial minority group" includes Black Americans, American Indians or Alaskan natives, Hispanics, individuals of Asian or Pacific Island origin, and those with mixed racial ancestry.

Additionally, the bill grants the Department the authority to create rules for the implementation of the grant program. The funding for these grants is outlined in the state budget schedule, ensuring that financial resources are allocated for this initiative. 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.
