Disbursement modification of workforce development funds

This bill modifies how Minnesota workforce development funds are distributed, primarily affecting the Jobs Skills Partnership Board and the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities system. It requires the Jobs Skills Partnership Board to recommend workforce training needs to the state college system, prioritizing programs run by colleges or existing employers before awarding funds to outside organizations. Additionally, the bill clarifies that special assessment money collected for employment and training must be used specifically for workforce development purposes, including incumbent worker training, rather than for general obligations of the Board of Trustees.
