                                 BILL NUMBER:  S7990

 TITLE OF BILL :

An act to amend the labor law, in relation to general powers and
duties of the commissioner of labor

 PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL :

To require the Department of Labor to annually publish and post on its
website a catalogue listing and describing multiple state and federal
funding programs and tax credits for workforce development and
preparation, adult education, and skills training.

 SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS :

Section 1. Amends Labor Law Section 21, adding a new subdivision 15.

(a) Requires DOL to annually publish and post on its website a
catalogue of workforce development/preparation funding programs and
tax credits.

Each funding description would include the following information:

(i) the name of program and administering agency;

(ii) description/purpose of funding program;

(iii) specific URL, if any;

(iv) year established;

(v) catalog of federal domestic assistance number, if any;

(vi) legal authority, statute and regulation citations;

(vii) program and fiscal contact information;

(viii) all eligibility requirements;

(ix) any program and special restrictions;

(x) action(s) required to receive aid;

(xi) a description of aid, including flow of funds between entities,
the type of aid formula used, matching requirements and any
maintenance of effort;

(xii) amounts appropriated in the most recent three years, broken down
by fiscal year and categorized by federal funds, state general funds
and state special revenue;

(xiii) all amounts disbursed for the prior two fiscal years; and

(xiv) any data available on outcomes and effectiveness of program.

Section 2. Effective date.

 JUSTIFICATION :

New York State spends billions of dollars each year on workforce
preparation and adult education, and many of the providers of these
services rely on state and federal funds. However, the funding is
broken up into more than 50 different programs, each with differing
amounts, criteria for eligibility and spending, and disbursement
rules. Having a complete listing with relevant information would be
extremely useful to providers and the public which must piece together
the various funding programs. The annual update is necessary because
many of the programs' rules and amounts change from year to year.

 PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY :

None.

 FISCAL IMPLICATIONS FOR STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS :

Minimal.

 EFFECTIVE DATE :
Immediately.
