Summary

This bill creates the Nuclear and Hydrogen Graduate Attraction and Retention Program, which provides annual grants to recent college graduates who work at nuclear or hydrogen-powered electricity generation facilities in Michigan. Eligible graduates from any postsecondary school with degrees in fields supporting the nuclear or hydrogen industry can apply within one year of graduation and receive grant payments annually for three years, as long as they remain employed at a qualified facility in the state. The program is administered by the Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity, funded through a dedicated state fund, and designed to attract and retain skilled workers in Michigan's emerging clean energy sectors.
