What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Current law requires the Department of Workforce Development (DWD) to

establish a statewide workforce investment system to meet the employment,

training, and educational needs of persons in this state; to plan, coordinate,

administer, and implement a youth apprenticeship program and such other

employment and education programs as the governor may assign to DWD; and to

make grants to persons providing employment and training activities to dislocated

workers.

This bill creates a workforce training program to be administered by DWD.

Under that program, DWD is required to award grants to public and private

organizations for the development and implementation of workforce training

programs and an organization that is awarded a grant may use the grant for the

training of both new and incumbent employees of businesses in this state. In

addition, the bill permits DWD to require a public or private organization, as a

condition of receiving a grant, to provide matching funds at a percentage to be

determined by DWD.

The bill appropriates $7,500,000 in each of fiscal years 2013-14 and 2014-15

to DWD for grants under the program (grants appropriation), and $180,000 in fiscal

year 2012-13, $1,660,000 in fiscal year 2013-14, and $3,160,000 in fiscal year

2014-15 to DWD for administration of the program (administration appropriation).

The bill, however, requires DWD to estimate the amount of moneys needed for the

administration of the program in fiscal year 2014-15 and, if the amount needed is

less than the amount appropriated, to submit to the Joint Committee on Finance a

proposal to transfer moneys from the administration appropriation to the grants

appropriation for the purpose of increasing funding for workforce training grants.

If a transfer is made, the bill requires DWD, in submitting information to the

Department of Administration for purposes of the 2015-17 biennial budget act, to

submit a dollar amount for the grants appropriation as though the amount

appropriated in fiscal year 2014-15 (base amount) is the amount shown in the

appropriation schedule plus the amount transferred and to submit a dollar amount

for the administration appropriation as though the base amount is the amount

shown in the appropriation schedule minus the amount transferred.
