Office of New Americans eliminated.
HF 2058 repeals Minnesota Statutes section 116J.4231, which established the Office of New Americans within the Department of Employment and Economic Development. This bill eliminates the office's legal structure and its required duties, such as developing statewide inclusion strategies, connecting immigrant job seekers with employers, and reducing employment barriers for refugees. The repeal takes effect June 30, 2025, ending the office's operations and annual reporting requirements. This change directly affects the Office of New Americans and its programs supporting immigrant and refugee inclusion across Minnesota.
