LB961
Provide for economic development training grants. (Business and Labor Committee priority bill)
| Description: |
In 2008, the legislature passed LB956, which created a sub-account within the Job Training Fund that utilizes interest income generated from the Fund. The sub-account was designated for the purpose of training employees of small businesses, residents of rural areas and residents of areas of high poverty. LB 961 affects only the sub-account and establishes a clear mechanism for effective implementation of the objectives of the original legislation. It does not depart from the Job Training Program's requirements that businesses be accountable, responsible and perform to high standards. LB 961 customizes these requirements to meet the specific needs of the targeted populations and the type of training necessary to help them be successful. Passed by the Legislature, 47-0-2, on April 9, 2010. Approved by the Governor April 12, 2010.
