Bill > SB305

This bill extends the authorization for the Governor to allocate $1,000,000 annually through fiscal year 2029 to qualifying nonprofit organizations that provide automotive repair training and reentry assistance to incarcerated or formerly incarcerated individuals, and it also extends the termination date for these funding provisions by one year to June 30, 2029. A "qualifying nonprofit organization" is defined as one that offers automotive repair training and reentry support to at least 50 individuals per year, can award nationally recognized automotive repair certificates, and has a minimum 50% employment placement rate in paid automotive repair jobs for its participants. The Governor's Office of Crime Prevention Policy will administer these grant funds, and recipient organizations must report on fund expenditures, the number of individuals served, and outcome-based performance measures.
