What it would have done

Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

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 The WIOA repealed a prior law known as the federal Workforce Investment Act of 1998 (WIA), which contained a number of similar provisions.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.
