AI Summary

This bill aims to promote energy and economic resilience through clean energy education and job pathway programs. It establishes a clean energy education program within the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education to provide funding to the Commonwealth's technical and vocational high schools for programs related to clean and renewable energy, energy storage, electric vehicles, and clean energy manufacturing. The bill also directs electric and gas distribution companies and municipal aggregators to annually transfer at least $20 million to the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education for these programs, without reducing the amount expended on low-income programs.
