Eligible training provider list.
Summary
Existing law provides that the California Workforce Development Board is responsible for assisting the Governor in the development, oversight, and continuous improvement of California's workforce investment system, including the development of a state plan to serve as a framework for, among other things, training programs to address the state's economic, demographic, and workforce needs. Existing law, in order to support the plan, requires the board to, among other things, establish initial and subsequent eligibility criteria for an eligible training provider list, in accordance with specified federal law. This bill would prohibit an approved training provider from being removed from the eligible training provider list if the provider has submitted verification of completion of continued eligibility requirements through a local workforce development board, except as provided. The bill would require continued eligibility review to be conducted once every 2 fiscal years, in a manner determined by the Employment Development Department.

MINOR
SB 275 was simplified in its final enrolled version by removing specific submission deadlines and procedural requirements for local workforce development boards conducting continued eligibility reviews of training providers. The old text required local boards to submit reviews to the Employment Development Department by September 30 of each even-numbered year; the new text simply states that reviews occur once every two fiscal years in a manner determined by EDD. This change also eliminated the bill's state-mandated local program designation, since it no longer imposes specific duties on local boards.
REQUIREMENT
Removed the requirement that local workforce development boards submit continued eligibility reviews to EDD by September 30 of each even-numbered year for the prior two fiscal years concluding June 30. Replaced with a general provision that reviews are conducted once every two fiscal years in a manner determined by EDD.
SCOPE
Removed the state-mandated local program designation. The old version explicitly stated the bill would impose a state-mandated local program by expanding duties of local workforce development boards; the enrolled version drops this language, consistent with removing the specific submission obligations on local boards.
