SB249

AN ACT relating to workforce development and declaring an emergency.

Complete·4/13/26

Kentucky SB249 establishes procedures for approving workforce training programs eligible for federal Workforce Pell Grants.

Kentucky SB249 creates a new section in KRS Chapter 151B to define "eligible workforce training programs" as those meeting federal requirements. The Governor, in consultation with the Kentucky Workforce Innovation Board, must approve these programs and ensure they align with federal Workforce Pell Grants rules. The Board must establish internal procedures to determine program eligibility and coordinate approvals to avoid duplicative payments. The Act declares an emergency, taking effect upon passage and approval by the Governor.
