Senator Kuby's bill, now passed the Senate with strong bipartisan cheers on a 23-4 vote, would pump five million dollars into tuition-free training for folks over 18 with a high school diploma. Think certified medical assistants, nursing aides, phlebotomists, and ER techs programs that could have graduates hitting the ground running in just 18 to 24 months.
