AN ACT CONCERNING FUNDING FOR THE PREAPPRENTICESHIP GRANT PROGRAM.

SB 20 appropriates $800,000 from the General Fund to the Department of Education for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026. This funding directly supports high school students participating in the preapprenticeship grant program established under state law. The bill provides concrete financial resources to expand career training opportunities for high school students before they enter formal apprenticeships. It does not change program eligibility or create new requirements, solely allocating existing funds for this specific initiative.
