Minnesota State Colleges and Universities appropriation to provide hospital, medical, and dental benefits coverage to part-time or adjunct faculty

SF 2401 appropriates state funds to provide hospital, medical, and dental benefits to part-time or adjunct faculty at Minnesota State Colleges and Universities who teach six or more credits annually and currently lack such coverage. The bill requires the Board of Trustees to collect data on participation to estimate future costs and submit a report to legislators by November 2027. This is a one-time funding measure, not an ongoing benefit expansion, with no specified dollar amounts in the text. The policy directly affects eligible part-time faculty members and aims to address gaps in their benefits access.
