	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 548, as introduced, Salas. California Workforce Investment
Board.
   The federal Workforce Investment Act of 1998 provides for
workforce investment activities, including activities in which states
may participate. Existing state law requires the California
Workforce Investment Board, in collaboration with state and local
partners, to develop a strategic workforce plan meeting specified
requirements.
   This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to this requirement.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 14020 of the Unemployment Insurance Code is
amended to read:
   14020.  The California Workforce Investment Board, in
collaboration with state and local partners, including the Chancellor
of the California Community Colleges, the State Department of
Education, other appropriate state agencies, and local workforce
investment boards, shall develop a strategic workforce plan to serve
as a framework for the development of public policy, fiscal
investment, and operation of all state labor exchange, workforce
education, and training programs to address the state's economic,
demographic, and workforce needs. The strategic workforce plan shall
also serve as the framework for the single state plan required by the
Workforce Investment Act of 1998. The plan shall be updated 
at least   no less than  every five years.
