This bill proposes the creation of a new section in chapter 52-08 of the North Dakota Century Code, specifically addressing the distribution of funding for workforce training centers. The state board for career and technical education is tasked with distributing the total appropriated amount for workforce training for the biennium according to a specified formula.
The distribution will allocate sixty percent of the funds equally among all workforce training centers. Additionally, twenty percent will be distributed based on each center's average number of training hours provided over the first three consecutive fiscal years of the previous four years, and another twenty percent will be allocated based on the average number of unduplicated participants reported by each center during the same timeframe. This structured approach aims to ensure a fair and effective distribution of resources to support workforce training initiatives across the state.
