Appropriation; Office of Workforce Development for the MS Allied Health College and Career Navigator Grant Program.

HB 336 appropriates $2.5 million from the State General Fund to the Mississippi Office of Workforce Development for the existing Mississippi Allied Health College and Career Navigator Grant Program. This funding, managed by the Department of Employment Security, supports the program's expansion during fiscal year 2027 (July 2026-June 2027). The program directly assists students pursuing allied health careers by providing college and career navigation services. The bill makes no new policy changes but allocates specific funding to maintain and grow this existing workforce development initiative.
