SB 1143 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to certain planning and evaluation requirements with respect to certain workforce development programs in this state.

SB 1143 requires Texas workforce development programs to establish specific goals for individuals aged 16-24, including tracking funding allocation and participation in education or job training for this group. It mandates that government entities offering financial incentives (like grants or tax benefits) creating at least 100 new jobs must notify the Texas Workforce Commission and local workforce boards within 30 days, providing details on job estimates, start dates, and required skills. The bill also requires the Texas Workforce Commission to annually evaluate program effectiveness, focusing on youth employment outcomes, reenrollment of school dropouts (16-24), and coordination with schools, colleges, and employers. These provisions directly affect state agencies, local workforce boards, and young residents seeking job training or education opportunities.
