SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
Drug treatment and job training programs; performance-based budgeting. Creates the position of Special Advisor for Workforce Development, which reports directly to the Governor. The Special Advisor will have policy and program responsibilities for several federal and state workforce training programs and resources administered within several different state agencies. The Special Advisor responsibilities include (i) serving as liaison for workforce training among state and local government, the Virginia Workforce Council, local workforce investment boards, and the business community; (ii) reviewing fund allocation; (iii) helping the Virginia Workforce Council implement policies and procedures for the Virginia Workforce System; (iv) monitoring federal legislation and policy in order to maximize the effective use of program funds; and (v) reporting annually on the progress in statewide coordination of workforce training resources. The bill requires the Substance Abuse Council to identify drug treatment programs administered by state agencies and the Virginia Workforce Training Council; working with the Special Advisor for Workforce Development, to identify job-training programs administered by state agencies. The Special Advisor for Workforce Development is required to develop standard reporting formats providing a summary comparison of the per person costs for each drug treatment or job training program, a comparative rating of each program based on success in meeting program objectives, and an explanation of the extent to which an individual agency's appropriation requests incorporate the data reflected in the summary cost comparison and the comparative rating. In addition, the Special Advisor for Workforce Development is required to report annually by December 1 of each year to the Governor and the General Assembly the following information for each agency-administered job training program: (i) the amount of funding expended under such program for the prior fiscal year; (ii) the number of individuals served by the program using that funding; (iii) the extent to which program objectives have been accomplished as reflected by an evaluation of the high-quality outcome measures; and (iv) how effectiveness may be improved.
