Bill > HB2151

This bill modifies the provisions governing the Fast Track Workforce Incentive Grant program in Missouri, which provides grants to Missouri citizens attending approved postsecondary institutions or eligible training providers. Key changes include increasing the adjusted gross income (AGI) limits for eligible apprentices and students to $100,000 for married couples filing jointly and $50,000 for all other taxpayers, and requiring eligible training providers to have been in continuous legal operation in Missouri for at least twelve months. The bill also clarifies that the Coordinating Board for Higher Education is the administrative agency responsible for implementing the program, including establishing eligibility criteria, processing applications, and awarding grants, which cover actual tuition and fees after other aid is applied, or related educational costs for apprentices. The program is set to sunset automatically on August 28, 2029, unless reauthorized by the General Assembly.
