Emergency medicine career pathways program funding provided, reports required, and money appropriated.

HF 610 provides $300,000 in state funding for Minnesota Virtual Academy's emergency medicine career pathways program, administered through Independent School District No. 294 in Houston. The program offers courses leading to emergency medical responder or EMT certification, with funds available until 2028. It requires specific outreach to students of color, Indigenous students, low-income students, and those in underserved communities. The program must submit annual reports starting in 2027 detailing participant demographics, program spending, and recommendations for improving statewide career pathways. This directly affects Minnesota students seeking entry-level emergency medical services careers.
