HB 1471 Mississippi House · 2025 Regular Session

2025 Construction Training Assistance Fund; create and provide funding for.

HB 1471 creates the "2025 Construction Training Assistance Fund" using 18.5% of Mississippi's sales tax revenue (from specific business activities) to fund construction industry training programs. It directs the Mississippi Office of Workforce Development to provide grants covering costs for public community colleges, junior colleges, and K-12 school systems to offer construction-related training to students. The fund, established as a special state treasury account, will disburse money to administer these grants after legislative appropriation. This policy directly supports educational institutions and students pursuing construction careers through subsidized training programs.
