RECOMMENDATION(S):

ACCEPT the report from the Employment and Human Services with updates on the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact; the report is informational.

BACKGROUND:

On January 6, 2015 the Board of Supervisors referred oversight and receipt of updates on the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) to the Family and Human Services Committee (F&HS).  
  







BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
WIOA was signed into law on July 22, 2014. WIOA is designed to help job seekers access employment, education, training, and support services to succeed in the labor market and to match employers with the skilled workers they need to compete in the global economy. Congress passed the Act by a wide bipartisan majority; it is the first legislative reform in 15 years of the public workforce system. WIOA was expected to significantly impact the Employment and Human Services Department (EHSD) and the way the Workforce Development Board does its work. Therefore, updates on the impacts and changes was referred to F&HS.  
  
On September 14, 2015 and March 14, 2016, F&HS received reports on the impacts of WIOA report from EHSD. At the March 14, 2016 meeting, F&HS approved the Department's recommendation to decertify the Workforce Development Board and recertified a new recommended structure in compliance with the new WIOA requirements. At that time, the Department was awaiting further guidance from the State on other WIOA rules. Therefore, F&HS asked the Department to return with additional information once sufficient information and guidance was received from the State and the Department was able to provide further analysis of the impacts of WIOA.  
  
On May 22, 2017, F&HS received a report from the Employment and Human Services Department and the written report is attached for the Board's information.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The Board will not accept the report as recommended by the Family and Human Services Committee.
