What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, the Department of Workforce Development (DWD)

administers a joint federal-state program to provide certain vocational

rehabilitation services to persons with disabilities. DWD receives federal funding

to match state money appropriated for the program.

This bill increases the amount of state funds appropriated to DWD for the

program by $1,826,200 for fiscal year 2013-14 and by $2,030,700 for fiscal year

2014-15 to increase the number of positions authorized for DWD for the program and

to provide additional funding for vocational rehabilitation services.

In addition, the bill increases the positions authorized for DWD to provide

vocational rehabilitation services by 7.08 full-time positions, in anticipation of the

receipt of increased federal funding to match the state funds provided in the bill.
