Bill Summary

A bill to create a program that awards grants to certain postsecondary schools in this state that establish or expand certain educational programs that lead to degrees or credentials supportive of the nuclear and hydrogen industries; and to provide for the powers and duties of certain state officers and entities.

AI Summary

This bill establishes a Nuclear and Hydrogen Education Grant Program to support postsecondary schools in Michigan that develop educational programs focused on nuclear and hydrogen industries. The program, administered by the Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity, will award competitive grants to schools creating or expanding "qualified education programs" that lead to degrees or credentials supporting nuclear or hydrogen energy sectors. A qualified education program must offer instructional pathways in areas like skilled crafts or engineering related to electricity-generating facilities powered by nuclear or hydrogen energy, and must also provide scholarships or tax credits to students who commit to working at such facilities for at least three years after graduation. The bill reflects a state policy aimed at advancing nuclear and hydrogen industries by developing workforce skills and human resources. The grant program will be funded through a dedicated fund, and the department will establish rules and procedures for program administration. Notably, the bill's implementation is contingent upon the concurrent passage of five related House Bills, indicating this is part of a broader legislative package supporting energy sector education and development.
