SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
Virginia Board of Workforce Development. Makes several changes to the Virginia Board of Workforce Development (the Board), including (i) requiring quarterly meetings of the Board; (ii) establishing a full-time director position to be supervised by the Governor's Chief Workforce Development Advisor (the Advisor) and dedicated to supporting the Board's operations; and (iii) adding, as an area of policy advice to the Governor, issues to create a business-driven system that increases the rates of attainment of workforce credentials and jobs. Beginning November 1, 2016, and annually thereafter, each agency administering any publicly funded career and technical education and workforce development program shall submit to the Governor and the Board a report detailing the program's performance against state-level metrics established by the Board and the Advisor. In addition, the Advisor, the Commissioner of the Virginia Employment Commission (VEC), and the Chancellor of the Virginia Community College System (VCCS) shall enter into a memorandum of understanding that sets forth (a) the roles and responsibilities of each of these publicly funded entities; (b) a funding mechanism that adequately supports operations under the federal provisions; and (c) a procedure for the resolution of any disagreements that may arise. The Advisor, VEC, and VCCS shall collaborate to produce an annual executive summary. Each local workforce development board shall develop and execute a strategic plan designed to combine public and private resources to support sector strategies, career pathways, and career readiness skills development. This bill also sets the minimum level of fiscal support from WIOA Adult and Dislocated Worker funds and provides incentives. The bill makes several technical amendments required with the transition from the federal Workforce Investment Act of 1998 to the federal Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act of 2014. On October 1, 2017, the Executive Director of the Board shall provide members of the Board with a detailed report evaluating the rate of the expenditures for incentives by local workforce development boards from July 1, 2015, to July 1, 2017. This bill is identical to HB 1986.
