A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
 
AN ACT
  relating to the use of money awarded from 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 (b) and adding Subsection (b-3) to read as
  follows:
         (b)  The skills development fund may be used by public
  community and technical colleges, community-based organizations,
  local workforce development boards, and the Texas A&M Engineering
  Extension Service [as start-up or emergency funds] for the
  following job-training purposes:
               (1)  developing and implementing customized training
  programs for businesses and trade unions; and
               (2)  sponsoring small and medium-sized business
  networks and consortiums.
         (b-3)  Not more than 25 percent of the amount of a skills
  development fund grant awarded for a training project may be used
  for the purchase of any proprietary or production equipment
  necessary for the training project.
         SECTION 2.  The changes in law made by this Act to Section
  303.003, Labor Code, apply only to a skills development fund grant
  awarded by the Texas Workforce Commission on or after the effective
  date of this Act. A skills development fund grant awarded before
  that date is governed by the law in effect on the date the grant was
  awarded, and the former law is continued in effect for that purpose.
         SECTION 3.  This Act takes effect September 1, 2023.
