SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
Public assistance. Provides that local departments of social services may place a VIEW participant, subject to his consent, in a vocational educational program targeted to skills required for local employment if the participant is in need of job skills and would benefit from immediate job skills training. The participant would be exempt from the job search requirement if he has two of the following criteria: (i) less than a high school education, (ii) reading or math skills at or below the eighth grade level, (iii) not retained a job for six months in the prior two-year period, or (iv) is undergoing treatment for substance abuse or family violence. The program shall be for a minimum of 30 hours per week and the participant shall be required to work an average of eight hours per week during the program. Prior to placing the VIEW participant in the vocational educational program, the local department shall have a memorandum of understanding with an employer that the participant may be placed, if qualified and the employer has an opening, in a job with the employer. This bill is identical to HB 2597.
