Launch grant
EDUCATION – Amends existing law to revise the definition of “in-demand careers” for the Idaho Launch Grant program.

RS31539 / S1390

This legislation updates the definition of "in-demand careers" to establish additional criteria for weighing economic output and mobility. Factors include but are not limited to, the number of openings, rate of growth, skill transferability, length of program training, and wage potential. In addition, any in-demand careers that require more than a bachelor's degree are excluded from grant consideration.

This amendment causes no additional expenditure of funds at the state or local level of government, nor does it cause an increase or decrease in revenue for state or local government therefore the legislation has no fiscal impact.
