Education and Workforce Development for Current and Former Inmates

Summary

The bill would let the Florida Department of Transportation use its workforce‑development money to create commercial driver‑license training programs for non‑violent inmates who are close to release. It also creates a reimbursement program for small Florida employers who hire these former inmates as drivers, covering part of workers’ compensation and auto liability premiums. The goal is to improve re‑entry outcomes and help fill driver shortages.
