What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill increases the appropriation to the Department of Workforce

Development (DWD) for workforce training grants, commonly referred to as "Fast

Forward" grants, by $1,000,000 in each of fiscal years 2015-16 and 2016-17 and

directs DWD to allocate those moneys for technical education equipment grants to

school districts in the amount of not less than $10,000 nor more than $50,000. A

school district that is awarded a grant under the bill must use the grant moneys

awarded for the acquisition of equipment that is used in advanced manufacturing

fields in the workplace. As a condition of receiving a grant under the bill, a school

district must provide matching funds equal to 100 percent of the grant amount

awarded. The match may be in the form of money contributed from private sources

or in-kind services or both.
