HB 3429: Career technology; creating Career Technology Business Partnership Pool; obligations; proceeds; definitions; fund; effective date.

HB 3429 creates a $50 million Career Technology Business Partnership Pool to finance economic development projects in Oklahoma. It allows career technology districts (vocational schools) to partner with for-profit businesses, using pooled financing for projects that meet workforce needs. Key requirements include adding financial literacy courses to district curricula, prohibiting districts from having outstanding debt while using the program, and ending eligibility after June 30, 2032. The pool is managed by the Oklahoma Development Finance Authority, with bonds potentially issued tax-exempt under federal law.
