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 the

Department of Workforce Development. Under the program, DWD must award

grants to public or 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 allows 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.
