What it would have done

Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

This bill increases the appropriation to the Department of Workforce Development for workforce training grants, commonly referred to as “Fast Forward" grants, by $1,000,000 in each of fiscal years 2017-18 and 2018-19 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.
