No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The Skills Development Fund is a job-training program administered by the Texas Workforce Commission for the purpose of leveraging collaboration among businesses, public community and technical colleges, workforce development boards, and economic development partners to provide local customized training opportunities.

Texas Action remains neutral on HB 700 because it does not affect our liberty principles. It would merely expand eligibility for the fund without increasing spending.
