S 8389 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to the New York state workforce development board

This bill renames the "New York State Workforce Investment Board" to the "New York State Workforce Development Board" and updates its membership structure. It directly affects the board's composition (adding specific representation for youth, mature workers, and industry sectors) and its administrative duties under state and federal workforce laws. The key mechanism is changing the board's official name and clarifying member appointment requirements, while maintaining its core responsibilities like developing workforce plans and coordinating federal funding. The bill does not alter the board's substantive policy functions.
