What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under the federal Workforce Investment Act of 1998, local workforce

development boards (local boards) are established throughout the state to provide

employment and training activities in the areas served by those local boards.

Similarly, state law requires the Department of Workforce Development (DWD) to

provide a job center network throughout the state through which job seekers may

receive career planning, job placement, and job training information. This bill

requires the subunit of DWD that administers the unemployment insurance

program, to notify the job center and the local board, serving the area in which an

unemployment insurance benefits claimant resides when the claimant applies for

those benefits.
