This
bill
relates
to
changes
to
the
job
training
program
and

fund
under
Code
chapter
260F.
The
bill
amends
the
transfer
of
8
moneys
from
the
workforce
development
fund
to
the
job
training
9
fund
and
makes
an
appropriation.
The
bill
is
titled
the
“Iowa
10
Apprenticeship
and
Job
Training
Act”.
11
The
bill
amends
the
parties
to
the
agreements
under
the
job
12
training
program
and
the
distribution
of
funds
from
the
job
13
training
fund.
Currently,
a
community
college
and
a
business
14
enter
into
an
agreement
concerning
a
training
arrangement.
The
15
bill
provides
instead
that
a
community
college
or
the
economic
16
development
authority
shall
enter
into
an
agreement
with
an
17
eligible
business
concerning
the
training
arrangement
focused
18
on
meeting
the
workforce
needs
of
the
eligible
business.
19
This
training
may
occur
through
adult
basic
education,
20
on-the-job
training,
job-related
instruction,
vocation
and
21
skill-assessment
services
and
testing,
tuition
and
classroom
22
instruction
for
coursework
at
community
colleges
or
regents
23
institutions,
and
training
equipment,
supplies
and
materials.
24
The
job
training
fund
currently
is
established
in
the
25
authority
in
the
workforce
development
fund
and
the
authority
26
makes
funds
available
to
the
community
colleges
by
formula.
27
The
bill
provides
that
the
job
training
fund
is
created
in
the
28
state
treasury
rather
than
within
the
workforce
development
29
fund.
The
bill
transfers
any
appropriation
provided
for
30
purposes
of
the
chapter
from
the
workforce
development
fund
31
to
the
job
training
fund
rather
than
allocating
$4
million
32
for
the
purposes
of
Code
chapter
260F.
The
bill
also
changes
33
language
from
mandatory
to
permissive
regarding
the
requirement
34
of
a
match
from
all
businesses

The
bill
also
states
1
that
50
percent
of
the
moneys
in
the
job
training
fund
is
2
allocated
for
financial
assistance
to
eligible
businesses
3
and
50
percent
of
the
moneys
in
the
job
training
fund
is
4
allocated
for
financial
assistance
to
apprenticeship
programs.
5
However,
repayments
or
recaptures
of
financial
assistance
to
6
eligible
businesses
must
be
allocated
for
purposes
of
providing
7
financial
assistance
for
eligible
businesses.
The
bill
8
provides
that
the
authority
may
not
expend
more
than
2
percent
9
of
moneys
in
the
fund
for
administrative
purposes.
The
bill
10
also
provides
that
a

college
may
retain
not
more
than

5
percent
of
moneys
disbursed
for

costs.

The

specifies
that
financial
20
assistance
is
to

number
22
of
apprentices
trained
and
number
of
contact

for
an

apprenticeship
sponsor
or
lead

divided

by
the

trained
and
contact
hours
25
for
all
the
apprenticeship
sponsors
or

sponsors
in

year,
then
multiplied
by
the

moneys
allocated
for
financial
assistance
to
apprenticeship
28
sponsors.
The
bill
provides
that
in
order
to
receive
financial
29
assistance,
the
apprenticeship
sponsor
or
lead
apprenticeship
30
sponsor
and

must
enter

the

32
duty
to
coordinate
the

program
and
allocation
of
33
funding
to
community
colleges
as

no
longer
applies
to
the

newly
required
agreements
and
available
funding.
