What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill creates a green jobs training program to be administered by DWD.

Under the program, DWD is required to award grants to public and private

organizations for the development and implementation of green jobs training

programs. The bill defines green jobs as jobs that produce goods or provide services

that benefit the environment or conserve natural resources. The bill also permits

DWD to require a public or private organization, as a condition of receiving a grant,

to provide matching funds at a percentage to be determined by DWD.
