summary

This amendment, which is the majority report of the Joint Standing Committee on Labor, Commerce, Research and Economic Development, strikes the bill and replaces it with a provision that allows a county commissioner appointed to the State Workforce Investment Board to send a designee to act as a member of the board in the county commissioner's place. The amendment also requires that the membership of the State Workforce Investment Board's Program Policy Committee include directors of the local workforce investment boards.
