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. The distribution will be structured as follows: 60% of the funds will be divided equally among all workforce training centers, while 20% will be allocated based on each center's average number of training hours provided over a specified period. The remaining 20% will be distributed according to the average number of unduplicated participants reported by each center during the same timeframe.

The bill aims to ensure a fair and equitable distribution of resources to workforce training centers, taking into account both the training hours provided and the number of participants served. This structured approach is intended to enhance the effectiveness of workforce training programs across the state, ultimately benefiting the workforce and economy of North Dakota.
