This bill, H.F. No. 1469, proposes appropriating funds for job skills training programs for recently released inmates in Minnesota. Specifically, it allocates $850,000 per year for fiscal years 2026 and 2027 from the workforce development fund to the commissioner of employment and economic development. These funds will be granted to Better Futures Minnesota, which will provide job training for individuals released from incarceration for felony-level offenses within the past 12 months. The organization must annually report on how the funds were used, including data on participant outcomes such as homelessness, employment status, recidivism, child support compliance, and job skills training received.
