HF 2565 Minnesota House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Ramsey County; grant appropriation extended.

HF 2565 extends a one-time $1 million grant from the workforce development fund to Ramsey County (in partnership with St. Paul) for workforce development programs. It directly supports youth and young adults aged 18-30 through initiatives like the "Learn and Earn" program, which includes technology training and a driver's license academy. The funding, available until June 30, 2028, is specifically for these targeted training pathways and is not an ongoing appropriation. This bill modifies the existing grant authorization to extend its availability through the specified deadline.
