Grant amounts for the dual training competency grant program increased, and money appropriated.

HF 2767 increases maximum grant amounts for Minnesota's Dual Training Competency Grant Program, doubling the annual cap from $6,000 to $12,000 per employee (capped at $24,000 total per employee). It appropriates $2 million for fiscal year 2026 and $2 million for fiscal year 2027 from the general fund to support this program. The bill directly affects training providers (including institutions under Minnesota Statutes §136A.103) and employees participating in eligible training programs. A key provision requires applicants to secure Pell and state grants before receiving program funds for employee training.
