The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 16, aims to secure funding for the preapprenticeship grant program established under section 10-21p of the general statutes. It proposes an appropriation of an unspecified sum from the General Fund to the Department of Education for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026. The bill's primary objective is to ensure that the preapprenticeship grant program is fully funded.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that each student who successfully completes the preapprenticeship program will be awarded not less than one thousand dollars. This financial support is intended to incentivize participation in the program and enhance the educational and vocational opportunities for students. There are no deletions from current law mentioned in the text of the bill.
