SF 1568 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Minnesota Job Skills Partnership Board membership modification provision and blind vendor facilities state services modification provision

This bill modifies Minnesota's workforce development governance and reporting. It changes the Minnesota Job Skills Partnership Board membership to require four appointed members to be part of the governor's Workforce Development Board (with two representing labor and two business), plus a nonprofit workforce development representative. The bill also amends reporting requirements (Minnesota Statutes 116L.35) to mandate detailed demographic data (race, age, gender, income) and cost-benefit analyses for all state workforce programs. These reports must include program success metrics, participant numbers, and subgrantee funding details, with annual updates required for programs seeking increased state funding. The changes aim to improve transparency and accountability in workforce development spending.
