Employment Training Fund: federal loan interest payments.

Summary

The bill amends the Unemployment Insurance Code to limit the Employment Training Fund so its money can only be spent on workforce‑training programs and related costs. Any diversion of those funds to pay interest on federal loans to the Unemployment Fund would require a vote by the Legislature and a public report explaining the need. It aims to keep training resources dedicated to developing a skilled workforce.
