CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE—
2019–2020 REGULAR SESSION
Senate Bill
No. 1013
| Introduced by Senator Monning |
February 14, 2020 |
An act to amend Section 6025 of the Penal Code and to amend Sections 14012 and 14202 of the Unemployment Insurance Code, relating to persons with felony convictions.
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
SB 1013, as introduced, Monning.
Persons with convictions: Board of State and Community Corrections: California Workforce Development Board: local workforce development boards.
(1) Existing law establishes the Board of State and Community Corrections as an entity independent of the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, and authorizes the board to carry out various powers and duties relating to providing advice and leadership on criminal justice issues. Existing law prescribes the membership of the board and the terms of those members.
This bill would add 2 seats to the board to be held by members of the public, appointed by the Governor and subject to Senate confirmation, who have been previously convicted of a felony.
(2) The federal Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act provides for workforce investment activities, including activities in which the states may participate. Existing law establishes the
California Workforce Development Board as the body responsible for assisting the Governor in the development, oversight, and continuous improvement of California’s workforce investment system and the alignment of the education and workforce investment systems to the needs of the 21st century economy and workforce. Existing law requires the board to be comprised of members appointed by the Governor who are responsible for, among other things, assisting the Governor in the development of the state workforce investment plan (State Plan). Existing law authorizes the board to include, among others, representatives of business who are appointed from a group of individuals nominated by state business organizations and business trade associations.
This bill would add 2 seats of the board to be held by 2 members who have previously been convicted of a felony.
(3) Existing law requires the local chief elected
officials in a local workforce development area to form a local workforce development board to, among other things, plan and oversee the workforce development system and develop and submit to the Governor a comprehensive 4-year local workforce investment plan that is consistent with the State Plan, as specified. Existing law requires that the membership of a local workforce development board be appointed by the local chief elected official using criteria established by the Governor and the California Workforce Development Board that requires specified representatives, including representatives from local businesses.
This bill would require the membership of each local workforce development board to include at least one representative who has previously been convicted of a felony.
By expanding the membership of local workforce investment boards beyond that required of federal law and imposing new duties on a local official to appoint that additional member,
this bill would impose a state mandated local program.
The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.
This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to the statutory provisions noted above.
