SCS/SB 672 - This act modifies provisions relating to the Fast Track Workforce Incentive Grant program. The following definitions are added to provisions of law relating to the program: "active apprentice status", "eligible apprentice", "eligible apprenticeship", "related educational costs", "renewal apprentice", "eligible training provider", and "eligible student". The Coordinating Board for Higher Education shall annually review the list of eligible programs of study and occupations relating to eligible apprenticeships. Grants shall be awarded in an amount equal to the related educational costs for an eligible apprentice after all other governmental assistance provided for the apprenticeship has been applied. An eligible apprentice shall be eligible for a fast track grant if he or she maintains active apprentice status, with an interruption of not more than 12 consecutive months from the last day of the most recent payment period during which the student received a grant, along with other criteria set forth in the act. Finally, this act repeals the sunset of the Fast Track Workforce Incentive Grant program. KITTY ENGLER
