	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 723, Correa. Veterans.
   Existing law requires the Employment Development Department, in
consultation and coordination with veterans' organizations and
veteran service providers, to research the needs of veterans
throughout the state and develop a profile of veterans' employment
and training needs and to seek federal funding for those purposes.
   This bill would require the Employment Development Department and
the Department of Consumer Affairs, on or before January 1, 2015,
jointly to present a report to the Legislature containing best
practices by state governments around the nation in facilitating the
credentialing of veterans by using their documented military
education and experience.


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

  SECTION 1.  Section 325.51 is added to the Unemployment Insurance
Code, immediately following Section 325.5, to read:
   325.51.  The Employment Development Department and the Department
of Consumer Affairs, on or before January 1, 2015, jointly shall
present a report to the Legislature containing best practices by
state governments around the nation in facilitating the credentialing
of veterans by using their documented military education and
experience.
