	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 825, as introduced, Corbett. Employment Development Department:
training expenditures: report.
   Existing law requires the Employment Development Department to
administer various job training and placement programs and services
for eligible persons, as provided, and requires that the department,
among other things, develop a statewide plan and area plans to
coordinate all programs it administers, as specified. Existing law
also requires the Employment Development Department to report
annually to the Governor, the Legislature, and the California
Workforce Investment Board, no later than November 30, regarding the
training expenditures made by local workforce investment boards in
the prior fiscal year, as provided.
   This bill would require the Employment Development Department,
instead of reporting to the Legislature, to report annually to the
relevant fiscal committees of the Legislature.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.


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