A BILL FOR
HB3250 LRB103 29002 RJT 55388 b
AN ACT concerning education.
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
Section 5. The School Code is amended by adding Section
2-3.196 as follows:
(105 ILCS 5/2-3.196 new)
Sec. 2-3.196. Advanced manufacturing education.
(a) The General Assembly finds that manufacturing is the
most basic and singularly important industry in the State,
that advanced manufacturing is of central importance to the
welfare and economic stability of the State, and that the
maintenance of this vital industry requires a continued source
of trained and qualified individuals for employment in
advanced manufacturing. It is the intent of the General
Assembly that, although this Section does not create any new
mandates, school districts be strongly advised to follow the
guidelines set forth in this Section.
(b) The State Board of Education shall create and maintain
a comprehensive training program in advanced manufacturing to
ensure an adequate supply of trained and skilled individuals
to work in advanced manufacturing and to ensure appropriate
representation of racial and ethnic groups in all phases of
the industry. The State Board of Education shall develop the

HB3250 - 2 - LRB103 29002 RJT 55388 b
advanced manufacturing training program described in this
subsection (b) to be taught as part of the curriculum of the
public school system from grades K-12 and made readily
available to all school districts. School districts may
include programs in education in advanced manufacturing as a
part of the curriculum of that district.
(c) The State Board of Education shall adopt such rules as
are necessary to implement the provisions of this Section. The
rules shall not create any new State mandates on school
districts as a condition of receiving federal, State, and
local funds by those entities.
(d) The State Board of Education shall assume
responsibility for the administration of the program adopted
under this Section throughout all public school districts as
well as developing the program to match the requirements and
mandates of federal programming.
