AN ACT relating to workforce investment.

This bill amends Kentucky's workforce investment laws by updating the language in the relevant statute to be gender-neutral. It directly affects the Education and Labor Cabinet and its employees, particularly the secretary who oversees workforce programs. The key changes include clarifying the secretary's authority to manage contracts, enforce fiscal responsibility, investigate wage violations, and share confidential client information with other agencies under specific conditions. The bill also outlines the secretary's powers to issue subpoenas, delegate duties, and appoint staff while protecting the confidentiality of unemployment and career development records.
