House Bill No. [insert bill number] establishes the Workforce Instructor Capacity Investment Program within the Louisiana Community and Technical College System. This program aims to enhance workforce training programs to align with employer demand in high-wage, high-demand sectors such as construction, manufacturing, healthcare, transportation, logistics, and information technology. The bill authorizes the Board of Supervisors of Community and Technical Colleges to create rules for the program's implementation, including eligibility criteria and allocation methodologies, and allows for emergency rule adoption.

Additionally, the bill creates the Workforce Instructor Capacity Investment Fund as a special fund in the state treasury, which will receive appropriations, donations, and other revenues. The fund's resources will be used to support rapid instructor deployment for economic development projects, recruitment incentives, compensation for temporary instructors, and program expansion. Importantly, the bill prohibits the use of these funds to replace existing state general fund appropriations for public post-secondary education institutions. The Board is also required to submit an annual report detailing the program's financial allocations and outcomes to relevant legislative committees. The act will take effect upon the governor's signature or after the designated time for gubernatorial action.
