A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT
relating to the participation of community-based organizations in
workforce training programs funded by the skills development fund.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
SECTION 1. Section 303.003, Labor Code, is amended by
amending Subsection (h) and adding Subsection (h-1) to read as
follows:
(h) A community-based organization may apply for money to
participate in a training program if:
(1) the organization applies [only] in partnership
with a community and technical college or the Texas A&M Engineering
Extension Service; or
(2) at least 90 days before the date the organization
applies, the organization submitted to a community and technical
college or the Texas A&M Engineering Extension Service a written
request for a partnership with the college or service and has been
unable to obtain the partnership.
(h-1) If a [A] community-based organization that applies
for funding under Subsection (h) provides [providing] services
regulated by the state, the organization shall provide to the
commission evidence of any certification, license, or registration
required by law.
SECTION 2. The change in law made by this Act applies only
to an application for money from the skills development fund
submitted to the Texas Workforce Commission on or after the
effective date of this Act. An application submitted before the
effective date of this Act is governed by the law in effect on the
date the application was submitted, and the former law is continued
in effect for that purpose.
SECTION 3. This Act takes effect September 1, 2023.
