LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

AB 1365, as amended, Ortega. ~~Public employees: retraining and rehabilitation.~~ Workforce development: grocery industry.

Existing law establishes the Department of Industrial Relations within the Labor and Workforce Development Agency and sets forth its powers, duties, and functions, including to foster, promote, and develop the welfare of the wage earners, to improve working conditions, and to advance opportunities for profitable employment.
Existing law authorizes the California Apprenticeship Council and the Division of Apprenticeship Standards, in cooperation with specified state entities, including the agency, to foster and promote on-the-job training programs other than apprenticeship, in accord with, and agreed to by the parties to, any applicable collective bargaining agreements, as specified.
This bill would require the agency to develop a labor-management training partnership to identify workforce training methods appropriate for the grocery industry.
Existing law requires every public agency, its insurance carrier, and the Department of Rehabilitation to jointly formulate procedures for the selection and referral of injured full-time public employees who may be benefited by rehabilitation services and retrained for other positions in public service.
~~This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to those provisions.~~
