What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under the federal Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act of 2014 (WIOA),

federal funds are allocated to the state and, in turn, to local workforce development

areas designated by the governor to provide employment and training activities for

job seekers and workers. The WIOA repealed a prior law known as the federal

Workforce Investment Act of 1998 (WIA), which contained a number of similar

provisions. To receive funding under the WIOA, the governor must establish a state

workforce development board, which is called under the bill the Council on Workforce

Investment. The WIOA also requires the establishment of local workforce

development boards. The bill requires the Council on Workforce Investment and

local workforce development boards to have at least one member who is a

representative of an organization that provides continuum of care services.

This bill requires the state council to identify certain populations for services

under its WIOA strategic plans. The populations to be included are 1) homeless

individuals from ages 18 to 24; 2) certain children placed in out-of-home care; and

3) homeless adults.
