assistance to YouthBuild programs. Existing law allows the department
to accept proposals for funding from applicants who establish their
eligibility, as provided, by submitting proof that they have been
funded or designated as a federal YouthBuild program by the
Department of Housing and Urban Development, and restricts the use of
the term "YouthBuild" to programs funded pursuant to the California

   This bill, in conformity with the federal YouthBuild Transition

instead to the Department of Labor.
