AB 1323

Bill Subjects

Abstract

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. Existing law, the California Workforce Investment Act, declares that it is the intent of the Legislature to deliver comprehensive workforce services to jobseekers, students, and employers through a system of one-stop career centers to, among other things, make job outreach, intake, job search and placement assistance, and other related services available in one location. Existing law provides for the payment of unemployment compensation benefits to eligible unemployed persons during the period that the person is unemployed, and requires the Employment Development Department to implement and administer the unemployment compensation program. This bill would require the department to ensure that information is posted or otherwise made available at all state one-stop career centers regarding any jobs that have been or will be created in this state as a result of economic stimulus funding provided to the state pursuant to the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, or from the proceeds from the sale of state General Fund infrastructure bonds.
