Bill Summary

This bill creates a green jobs training program to be administered by the Department of Workforce Development. Under the program, DWD must award grants to public or private organizations for the development and implementation of green jobs training programs. The bill defines “green jobs” as jobs that produce goods or provide services that benefit the environment, conserve natural resources, or create renewable energy resources. The bill also allows DWD to require a public or private organization, as a condition of receiving a grant, to provide matching funds at a percentage to be determined by DWD. For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.

AI Summary

This bill establishes a "green jobs training program" administered by the Department of Workforce Development (DWD) to award grants to organizations for developing and implementing training programs focused on "green jobs," which are defined as jobs that benefit the environment, conserve natural resources, or create renewable energy resources. The DWD may require grant recipients to provide matching funds, and the bill appropriates funds for this program. Additionally, it allows the DWD to use emergency rule procedures to implement the program, with these emergency rules remaining in effect until July 1, 2027, or until permanent rules are established, whichever comes first, and waives certain requirements for declaring an emergency rule.
