Commissioner of employment and economic development annual reports on grantee performance required.

HF 1851 requires Minnesota's Commissioner of Employment and Economic Development to submit annual reports starting January 15, 2026, on organizations receiving workforce development grants. The reports must detail each grant's purpose, amount, the number of Minnesotans served and placed in living wage jobs, and cost-effectiveness metrics like how much grant money was used per job placement. If grants were used for non-Minnesotans, the report must explain why. These reports will be sent to relevant legislative committees, with exceptions for organizations without measurable outcomes.
