This bill died with 2009-2010 Regular Session. It reached “To Executive” and never advanced before the session ended, so it can no longer move — a new version would have to be reintroduced in the current session.
This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there is no live prognosis. It would have to be reintroduced in the current session to move again.
Summary
Existing law, the California Workforce Investment Act, establishes the California Workforce Investment Board (CWIB) , which is the body responsible for assisting the Governor in the development, oversight, and continuous improvement of California's workforce investment system, and prescribes the functions and duties of the board. This bill would require the CWIB, in collaboration with local workforce investment boards, to establish the California Youth at Work Program, for the purpose of providing summer job training and work experience opportunities for youth in the state, in accordance with specified requirements. The bill would provide that the program shall only be implemented if the Director of Finance determines that there are sufficient federal funds made available to the state for the program pursuant to the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 or other federal law, and would require that the program terminate at such time that the director determines that there are no longer sufficient federal funds available for the program. Existing law requires the local chief elected officials in a local workforce development area to form, pursuant to specified guidelines established by the Governor and the board, a local workforce investment board, and prescribes the duties of the board with regard to the development and implementation of local workforce investment plans, as specified. This bill would require the local board to also facilitate the implementation of summer youth training programs through partnerships and effective collaboration. Because the bill imposes new duties on local workforce investment boards with respect to the implementation of these programs, it would impose a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to these statutory provisions.
