SB 599 — Workforce development.

Summary

(1) The former Private Postsecondary and Vocational Education Reform Act of 1989, which became inoperative on July 1, 2007, and was repealed on January 1, 2008, was administered by the Bureau for Private Postsecondary and Vocational Education in the Department of Consumer Affairs. The former act generally effectuated legislative intent to ensure minimum standards of instructional quality and institutional stability in private postsecondary educational institutions and required the bureau, among other things, to review and investigate all institutions, programs, and courses of instruction approved under the act. This bill would require the successor agency to the former Bureau for Private Postsecondary and Vocational Education in the Department of Consumer Affairs to transmit any available data regarding school performance, as prescribed, it receives from any schools under its jurisdiction to the California Postsecondary Education Commission. However, the bill would make this provision operative only if AB 48 of the 2009–10 Regular Session is enacted and becomes effective on or before January 1, 2010, and creates a successor agency to the former Bureau for Private Postsecondary and Vocational Education. (2) The federal Workforce Investment Act of 1998 provides for workforce investment activities, including activities in which states may participate. Existing law contains various programs for job training and employment investment, including work incentive and employment training outreach programs. The act also establishes local workforce boards to develop, implement, and coordinate local workforce investment plans, as prescribed. Existing law provides that it is the duty of the local board, among other things, to coordinate workforce investment activities in the local area, and take specified actions to promote economic development and job training programs in the local area. This bill, for purposes of disbursing economic recovery funds recently made available as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 to workforce development programs, would authorize local workforce investment boards to work directly with institutions of higher education and other training providers approved by state or federal agencies, including private postsecondary institutions that participate in certain federal student financial aid programs, to quickly design education and training to fit the needs of the job seekers and employers they are serving. The bill would require, for purposes of the California Workforce Investment Act and any laws governing workforce development programs provided for under the federal American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, that entrance into a registered apprenticeship program is to be considered placement into a job. (3) Existing law creates the California Dental Corps Loan Repayment Program of 2002 in the Dental Board of California, and transfers $3,000,000 from the State Dentistry Fund to the Dentally Underserved Account of that fund for 3 specified fiscal years, through the 2005–06 fiscal year for purposes of the program. The program assists dentists who practice in an underserved area with loan repayment pursuant to an agreement between the board and the dentist, as specified. This bill would require the board, on or after July 1, 2010, to extend the program and distribute the money remaining in the account until July 1, 2012. (4) This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.
