Relating to certain planning, notification, and evaluation requirements with respect to certain workforce development programs in this state.

HB 3173 requires Texas workforce development plans to include specific goals for individuals aged 16-24. It mandates that state or local governments notify workforce boards within 30 days when granting financial incentives (like grants or tax breaks) that could create 100+ new jobs, providing details on job locations, start dates, and required skills. The bill also requires the Texas Workforce Commission to annually evaluate program effectiveness, including how funds are allocated to support youth employment and meet employer needs. These provisions directly affect local workforce boards, state agencies, and businesses receiving state financial incentives.
