  • Allows community college districts to issue new jobs training revenue bonds in anticipation of payments from new jobs credit from withholding agreements, with bonds maturing up to 20 years from issuance.

  • Authorizes community college boards to pledge new jobs credit withholding receipts as a statutory first lien (subject only to previously created liens) and may also pledge limited tax full faith and credit as additional security.
