Bill > AB462

This bill revises provisions related to economic development, focusing on two main areas: inland ports and industrial parks, and career pathways programs in schools. For inland ports and industrial parks, the bill expands existing law to allow the creation of industrial parks alongside inland ports, authorizing participating entities to create tax increment areas to fund infrastructure and development projects. These areas can generate special tax revenues to pay for projects like drainage, street improvements, water systems, and transportation infrastructure. The bill also establishes detailed provisions for how these tax increment areas can be created, managed, and financed. In the education sector, the bill requires school districts to designate coordinators for career pathways programs, creates a Career Pathways Oversight Committee to evaluate these programs, and modifies the Teacher Academy College Pathway Program. The program changes include requiring dual credit courses aligned with education degrees, establishing work-based learning requirements for students, and expanding reimbursement eligibility for teachers who complete the program. Additionally, the bill provides more flexibility for school districts in implementing these programs and creates a mechanism for students or parents to request hearings about program implementation. The overall goal is to support economic development through strategic infrastructure investments and create more robust career preparation pathways for students interested in teaching.
