State Workforce Investment Board; make technical changes to provisions related thereto.

SB 2622 amended Mississippi Code sections 37-73-7 and 37-153-15 to revise which industry certifications qualify for state funding. It required the State Workforce Investment Board to update a list of nationally recognized certifications tied to high-demand occupations or critical economic needs, ensuring only these certifications would qualify for a $600 annual grant per student. The bill aimed to direct career and technical education funding toward certifications linked to occupations meeting wage or demand criteria, with grants covering exam fees and program support. However, the bill died in committee on February 4, 2025, and did not become law.
