Texas SB856 amends the Labor Code to modify the use of the skills development fund by public community and technical colleges, community-based organizations, and the Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station and Extension Service. The fund can be used for customized training programs, small and medium-sized business networks, and consortiums. The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board must review all customized training programs biennially.
