Modifies provisions relating to grants for certain workforce training programs

Removed the repeal of section 173.831 and the creation of new sections 173.1541, 173.2570, 173.2571, 173.2572, and 173.2573, which previously covered broader higher education topics like academic assessments and career pathways.

Changed the bill's purpose from repealing five sections to enacting five new sections specifically for grants in workforce training programs.

Replaced a list of general higher education definitions (e.g., 'Academic skill intake assessment', 'Career pathways coursework') with new definitions specific to apprenticeships and workforce training, such as 'Active apprentice status' and 'Eligible apprenticeship'.

Changed the definition of 'Department' from the department of elementary and secondary education to the coordinating board for higher education to reflect the bill's new focus on postsecondary workforce training.

Updated eligibility requirements to include specific income limits (e.g., $100,000 for joint filers) and age thresholds (25 years or older), distinguishing between 'Eligible apprentice' and 'Eligible student' categories.

The bill's purpose changed from repealing three sections to repealing five sections, adding 173.831 and 173.2553 to the list of repealed statutes.

New definitions were added for 'academic skill intake assessment', 'adult dropout recovery services', 'approved program provider', 'career pathways coursework', 'coaching', 'cohort', 'employability skills certification', 'graduate', 'graduation rate', 'industry-recognized credential', and 'learning plan'.

New requirements were introduced regarding the use of accredited assessments, the development of learning plans for students, and the provision of coaching and career placement services.

The bill now includes an emergency clause for certain sections, allowing them to take effect immediately upon passage.
