More specifically, the official text was summarized by the state legislature as ’’Relating to eligibility for the Lone Star Workforce of the Future Fund grant program’’.
The following is our breakdown, based on the actual bill text, and may include interpretation to clarify its provisions.
This bill modifies the eligibility for the Lone Star Workforce of the Future Fund grant program by including "qualifying general academic teaching institutions" as potential recipients. These institutions must have enrollments under 10,000, be located in counties with populations under 35,000, and be designated as Minority Serving Institutions. The bill outlines that grants are awarded to entities that operate workforce training programs tailored to high-demand occupations, designed with employer input, and provide a mix of classroom, online, and work-based training. Eligible entities must demonstrate successful recruitment and placement of participants in well-paying jobs and secure 40% of program funding from non-state sources. They must collaborate with various partners, ensure alignment with employer needs, and fulfill documentation and compliance requirements. The act takes effect immediately upon receiving a two-thirds legislative vote; otherwise, it becomes effective on Sept. 1, 2025.
