Bill > HB3091

This bill amends the Illinois Civil Administrative Code by adding a new section that requires the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity (DCEO) to develop a technical assistance program for regional manufacturing partnerships. The program will be implemented subject to available funding and will involve collaboration with three key groups: manufacturer employer associations, educational institutions (including public universities and community colleges), and workforce stakeholders (such as local workforce innovation boards and areas). The goal of this technical assistance program appears to be supporting and strengthening regional manufacturing capabilities by creating a coordinated approach that connects employers, educational institutions, and workforce development resources. By facilitating these partnerships, the bill aims to enhance manufacturing sector growth, skills development, and economic opportunities at the regional level in Illinois.
