Bill > HB2151

This bill modifies provisions governing the "Fast Track Workforce Incentive Grant" program in Missouri, which provides grants to Missouri citizens for postsecondary education or apprenticeships in areas of occupational shortage. Key changes include increasing the adjusted gross income (AGI) limits for eligible students and apprentices to $100,000 for married couples filing jointly and $50,000 for 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 for the program and will establish rules and regulations for its implementation, including designating eligible programs of study and apprenticeships. The grant amounts will cover actual tuition and fees for eligible students after other aid, or related educational costs for eligible apprentices. The program is subject to a sunset provision, automatically expiring on August 28, 2029, unless reauthorized by the General Assembly.
