	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 114, as amended, Salas. Proposition 39: implementation:
workforce development.
   The California Clean Energy Jobs Act, an initiative approved by
the voters at the November 6, 2012, statewide general election as
Proposition 39, made changes to corporate income taxes and, except as
specified, provides for the transfer of $550,000,000 annually from
the General Fund to the Clean Energy Job Creation Fund for 5 fiscal
years beginning with the 2013-14 fiscal year. Moneys in the Clean
Energy Job Creation Fund are available, upon appropriation by the
Legislature, for purposes of funding eligible projects that create
jobs in California, improving energy efficiency and expanding clean
energy generation. Existing law, among other things, provides for
allocation of available funds to job training and workforce
development.
   Existing law appropriates $3,000,000 from the fund to the
California Workforce Investment Board to develop and implement a
competitive grant program for eligible community-based and other
training workforce organizations preparing disadvantaged youth or
veterans for employment.
   This bill would additionally require the California Workforce
Investment Board to require a grant recipient to report to the board
specified information. The bill would require the board, after the
first year of implementation of the program, to review and assess the
program in achieving the job training and workforce development
goals, identify problems and barriers, and provide solutions to
improve program performance.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Chapter 6 (commencing with Section 26250) is added to
Division 16.3 of the Public Resources Code, to read:
      CHAPTER 6.  JOB TRAINING AND WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT


   26250.  In addition to the requirements of Section 26230, the
California Workforce  Development   Investment
 Board shall do both of the following:
   (a) Require grant recipients to do both of the following:
   (1) Report to the California Workforce  Development
  Investment  Board the number of individuals
trained, their demographic and geographic profile, the number of
training completions, the cost of training per individual, the number
and type of credentials and certificates awarded, the number of
trainees enrolled in state-certified apprenticeship programs, and the
number of job placements and retention after six months for trainees
and job characteristics of the placements, including industry,
occupation, and wages and benefits.
   (2) (A) Disclose if the grant recipient is receiving incentives
for energy efficiency or clean energy job training projects from
other local, state, and federal programs.
   (B) A grant recipient's receipt of incentives from other local,
state, and federal programs does not preclude the grant recipient
from receiving, or reduce the amount of, a grant awarded pursuant to
the competitive grant program developed pursuant to Section 26230.
   (b) Review and assess, after the first year of implementation of
the competitive grant program developed pursuant to Section 26230,
whether the program is achieving the job training and workforce
development goals, identify problems and barriers to achieving those
goals, and provide solutions to improve program performance.
