What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
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.
