This bill appropriates funds to the Hennepin County Sheriff for educational and skills training programs for jail inmates. Specifically, it allocates $92,000 annually for fiscal years 2026 and 2027, with continued funding in future years.

The funds are distributed as follows: - $89,000 per year for hiring or partnering with an individual to provide instruction for inmates working toward a high school diploma or GED. - $3,000 per year for licensing fees for course materials related to anger management, cognitive awareness, empowerment, personal responsibility, and parenting.

Additionally, the Hennepin County Sheriff must submit an annual report by June 30 detailing how the funds were used, progress made, and recommendations for best practices in inmate education and skills training.
