SB 1143 establishes new planning, notification, and evaluation requirements for workforce development programs in Texas. It mandates that workforce development plans set specific goals for individuals aged 16 to 25. Government entities providing financial incentives that create at least 100 jobs must notify the Texas Workforce Commission and local workforce development boards about the new employment opportunities. The bill also requires an annual evaluation of workforce development activities, tracking outcomes for young workers and school dropouts, and analyzing multiyear trends in workforce participation.
