The bill establishes a Native American apprentice assistance program in Washington State, recognizing the historical traumas faced by Native American communities that have impacted their educational attainment. The program aims to provide additional support for members of federally recognized Indian tribes who enroll in state-registered apprenticeship programs, addressing challenges such as poverty and limited access to education. The Office of Student Financial Assistance will administer the program, which includes publicizing the initiative, awarding financial assistance, and collaborating with tribes and apprenticeship programs to determine funding priorities.

The bill outlines specific definitions related to the program, including "eligible participant" and "gift aid," and mandates annual reporting to the governor and legislature on the program's effectiveness until 2025. The program will prioritize funding for tuition costs and necessary supplies for eligible participants, with a provision that the act will become null and void if specific funding is not provided by June 30, 2024. The new sections created by this act will form a new chapter in Title 28B of the Revised Code of Washington.
