Minnesota HF4862 allows the commissioner of labor and industry to provide advance payments for the registered teacher apprenticeship competitive.

Minnesota HF4862 modifies the registered teacher apprenticeship competitive grant program by allowing the commissioner of labor and industry to provide advance payments to grantees. This change overrides existing statutes and other laws that require a reimbursement-based model. To qualify for direct funding, the commissioner must verify that a reimbursement-based model would create financial hardship for the grantee and impede program implementation. This provision is effective July 1, 2026, and expires December 31, 2027.
