This bill, Senate File No. 2426, proposes an appropriation of $400,000 from the Minnesota general fund for fiscal year 2026 to support MAD DADS of Minneapolis, a community organization. The funds will be used to implement a youth workforce development program targeting individuals aged 16 to 24, with a special focus on underserved communities.

The initiative is designed as an "earn-to-learn" program that provides:
- Career exploration opportunities
- Hands-on job training
- Mentorships
- Certification pathways in high-demand industries

The training will include fields such as:
- HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning)
- Energy efficiency
- Solar panel installation

This is a one-time appropriation, meaning the funding will not automatically renew in future years.
