This bill focuses on workforce development by appropriating funds specifically for programs in construction, clean energy, and energy efficiency. It establishes a new initiative called the Clean Economy Equitable Workforce Grant Program, which is designed to support pre-apprenticeship, career development, and workforce readiness programs. The aim is to prepare Black, Indigenous, and People of Color workers for careers in these high-demand fields.

The bill allocates a total of $20 million, with $10 million designated for fiscal year 2024 and another $10 million for fiscal year 2025. These funds will be provided to the commissioner of employment and economic development to facilitate the grant program, thereby promoting equitable access to workforce opportunities in the clean economy sector.
