Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Energy Transition Act. Provides that the Climate Works Pre-Apprenticeship Program shall recruit, prescreen, and provide pre-apprenticeship training relevant to clean energy apprenticeships in the construction and building trades and that the Program shall meet certain requirements regarding applicant placements (rather than requiring each Climate Works Hub that receives funding from the Energy Transition Assistance Fund to perform certain actions).

House Floor Amendment No. 2
Adds reference to:
30 ILCS 559/20-15

Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Reinserts the provisions of the introduced bill with changes. Provides that each Climate Works Hub that receives funding from the Energy Transition Assistance Fund shall: (i) dedicate at least one-third of Program placements to applicants who reside in an area that is both an R3 Area and an environmental justice community; (ii) dedicate at least two-thirds of Program placements to applicants who reside in an area that is either an R3 Area or an environmental justice community; and (iii) prioritize the remaining Program placements according to certain stated criteria. Adds provisions amending the Illinois Works Jobs Program Act. Provides that contractors or subcontractors may be eligible to earn bid credits under the Illinois Works Bid Credit Program for apprentices who have completed the Climate Works Preapprenticeship Program or the Highway Construction Careers Training Program.
