Adopt the Manufacturing Modernization and Workforce Development Pilot Investment Act, transfer, change, and eliminate funds, change provisions relating to the state unemployment insurance tax rate, and eliminate the Nebraska Worker Training Board

Complete legislative text was added establishing the Manufacturing Modernization and Workforce Development Pilot Investment Act as a standalone bill rather than amendments to existing sections.

Specific eligibility criteria were defined including: NAICS codes 31-33, minimum three years in business, 51% revenue from manufactured goods, minimum three full-time employees, and requirement for private matching funds on a one-to-one basis.

Grant funding limits were established at a maximum of $50,000 per grant, with amounts equal to the private matching financial support provided by the applicant.

Implementation timeline was set from October 1, 2025 through November 1, 2026 for accepting grant applications.

Key terms were formally defined including 'Department' (Department of Labor), 'Eligible manufacturing operation', 'Manufacturing modernization investment project', and 'Private matching financial support'.

Enrollment and Review draft markings, committee assignment notes, and incomplete amendment instructions were removed in favor of final legislative text.
