This bill died with 2021-2022 Regular Session. It reached “To Executive” and never advanced before the session ended, so it can no longer move — a new version would have to be reintroduced in the current session.

This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there are no live odds of enactment. It would have to be reintroduced in the current session to move again.

Plain-language change summary

The amendments to Assembly Bill 973 introduce new definitions and details about expenses related to apprenticeship programs, such as tools, tuition, and travel costs that can be claimed. Additionally, some procedural rules have been adjusted, notably including an exemption from emergency rule procedures. These changes are significant because they expand the support available for apprentices and clarify what expenses can be covered, making it easier for individuals to participate in these important job training programs.

and 118.34 (1) (c) of the statutes;
relating to:
apprenticeship and youth apprenticeship completion awards, career and technical education incentive grants and completion awards, technical preparation programs in school districts and technical colleges, creating an individual income tax subtraction for expenses paid for apprenticeship programs, and making an appropriation.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau Under current law, any person 16 years of age or over may enter into an apprenticeship, which is a contract whereby the person (apprentice) is to receive from his or her employer, known as a sponsor, in consideration for the apprentice's services, instruction in any trade, craft, or business.
That instruction may include related classroom instruction.
Current law also provides for a youth apprenticeship - 2022 Legislature - 2 - LRB-5969/1 MED/ARG/JK:cjs ASSEMBLY BILL 973 (YA) program.
The apprenticeship and youth apprenticeship programs are administered by the Department of Workforce Development.
This bill makes various changes related to apprenticeships and youth apprenticeships, including:
Apprenticeship completion awards Current law provides for an apprenticeship award completion program (ACAP), administered by DWD, under which apprentices and their sponsors may receive reimbursement for tuition costs charged to an apprentice to participate in the classroom instruction for the apprenticeship.
Apprenticeship completion awards are limited to 25 percent of the cost of tuition incurred by the apprentice or sponsor or $1,000, whichever is less, except that DWD may, if funding is not available to fully fund awards, reduce the reimbursement percentage or deny applications for completion awards that would otherwise qualify.
This bill does all of the following with respect to the ACAP:
Page 2, line 1:
Expands the ACAP to also allow reimbursement for the cost of tools and materials and travel costs.
delete the material beginning with “procedures, providing" and ending with “appropriation" on line 2 and substitute “procedures and providing an exemption from emergency rule procedures”.
Page 3, line 14:
Creates a youth apprenticeship completion award program (YACAP), under which youth apprentices and employers may receive reimbursement for the cost of tools and materials, travel costs, and worksite mentor expenses.
after that line insert:
Youth apprenticeship completion awards are limited to 25 percent of eligible costs incurred by the apprentice or employer or $500, whichever is less, for a given year of youth apprenticeship, subject to a maximum of two awards for a total maximum of $1,000, except that DWD may reduce the reimbursement percentage or deny applications as under current law for the ACAP.
“SECTION 3c.
The YACAP is limited to youth apprenticeships in the areas of architecture and construction.
71.01 (1ap) of the statutes is created to read:
3.
71.01 (1ap) “Apprenticeship program” has the meaning given in s.
Provides additional funding for the ACAP and YACAP programs.
Apprenticeship expenses tax subtraction This bill allows an individual, when calculating income for state income tax purposes, to subtract eligible apprenticeship expenses paid by the individual for the individual or the individual's dependent to participate in an apprenticeship program that is approved by DWD.
The deduction first applies to taxable years beginning after December 31, 2021.
The bill defines eligible apprenticeship expenses as those expenses eligible under the ACAP as described above.
Career and technical education incentive grants and completion awards Current law requires DWD to approve industry-recognized certification programs designed to a) mitigate workforce shortages and b) prepare individuals for occupations as fire fighters, emergency medical responders, or emergency medical services practitioners.
Current law requires DWD to award incentive grants to school districts with industry-recognized certification programs and requires DWD to annually award completion awards to students in the amount of $500 for each industry-recognized certification program approved by DWD to prepare individuals for occupations as fire fighters, emergency medical responders, or emergency medical services practitioners.
This bill does all of the following:
1.
Adds programs in construction work to the list of industry-recognized certification programs for which DWD must approve programs.
This change applies LRB-5969/1 - 2022 Legislature - 3 - MED/ARG/JK:cjs ASSEMBLY BILL 973 for purposes of eligibility for both incentive grants and completion awards described above.
2.
Provides additional funding for the incentive grants to school districts described above.
Apprenticeship courses and technical preparation programs Current law requires each school board, in cooperation with a technical college district board, to establish a technical preparation program in each public high school in the school district.
The program must consist of a sequence of courses, approved by the Technical College System Board, designed to allow high school pupils to gain advanced standing in the technical college district's associate degree program upon graduation from high school.
The TCS Board must annually publish a list of these approved courses that indicates the schools in which each course is taught and the credit equivalency available in each technical college district for each course.
There is also a separate statutory requirement that the TCS Board provide a technical preparation program that includes the school district technical preparation program described above and further requires the TCS Board to plan, coordinate, administer, and implement its technical preparation program.
Under this bill, the TCS Board must annually publish a list of courses offered to high school students that meet all of the following criteria:

1) the course is offered to adults in an approved apprenticeship program;
2) the course is an approved technical college district course;
and 3) the course is taught by school district faculty, by technical college faculty, or by industry professionals who teach, or are qualified to teach, the course to adults in an approved apprenticeship program (TCS-listed apprenticeship courses).
The TCS Board must facilitate dual enrollment programs between school boards and technical college district boards for TCS-listed apprenticeship courses and must ensure that an individual's successful completion of, or award of partial course credit for, a TCS-listed apprenticeship course allows the individual to receive technical college course credit.
These TCS-listed apprenticeship courses are also included in the TCS Board's and school district's technical preparation programs.
Because this bill relates to an exemption from state or local taxes, it may be referred to the Joint Survey Committee on Tax Exemptions for a report to be printed as an appendix to the bill.
