The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 5173, aims to increase funding for youth summer employment programs by appropriating a specified sum of money from the General Fund to the Department of Education for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2027. The bill emphasizes the importance of supporting youth employment opportunities during the summer months, which can provide valuable work experience and skills development for young individuals.

The bill does not include any deletions from current law but introduces new legal language to facilitate the appropriation of funds. The specific amount to be appropriated is yet to be determined, as it is marked with a placeholder in the text. The overall intent of the legislation is to enhance the financial resources available for youth summer employment initiatives, thereby promoting workforce readiness among young people.
