Relating to the establishment by the Texas Workforce Commission of an advanced nuclear energy workforce development program.

Summary

This bill directs the Texas Workforce Commission to establish and administer an advanced nuclear energy workforce development program, in collaboration with the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board and the Public Utility Commission of Texas. The program's primary purpose is to address skilled labor shortages in the state's advanced nuclear energy industry by creating a strategic plan for workforce development, providing financial assistance through public-private partnerships, and developing customized curriculum requirements for degree and certificate programs at higher education institutions. The commission will focus on preparing students for high-wage jobs in specialized areas such as nuclear-grade welding, radiological control, reactor operations, and nuclear engineering, with annual reporting requirements to relevant legislative committees beginning September 1 of each year.
