This bill establishes a framework for approving workforce training programs in Kansas that are eligible for federal workforce Pell grants, in accordance with section 83002 of public law 119-21. The governor, in consultation with the state workforce development board, is tasked with approving these programs, ensuring they meet the necessary eligibility requirements. The bill defines "eligible workforce training program" and "state workforce development board," and outlines the responsibilities of the board, which include creating an application process for postsecondary institutions, coordinating with other workforce programs to avoid duplicative funding, and aligning state and federal resources to support these training programs.

Additionally, the bill mandates that all requirements be consistent with applicable federal rules governing the workforce Pell grant program, stating that in cases of conflict, federal law will take precedence. The act will take effect upon its publication in the statute book.
