Department of Business Assistance; Workforce Retraining Program and Fund. Provides for the Department of Business Assistance to develop a Workforce Retraining Program to provide consulting services and funding to companies and businesses to assist in retraining their existing workforces. To be eligible for funding under the program, a company must meet certain requirements and demonstrate that it is undergoing (i) integration of new technology into its production process, (ii) a change of product line in keeping with marketplace demands, or (iii) substantial change to its service delivery process, which would require assimilation of new skills and technological capabilities by the firm's existing labor force. The bill also creates the Workforce Retraining Fund.
