What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

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.
