Relating to: definition of personal assistance services for the purposes of vocational rehabilitation; updating reference to federal vocational rehabilitation law; updating references to the federal Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act of 2014; updating reference to federal law for certificate of registration as a migrant labor contractor; updating statutory reference to federal Social Security Act; and updating references to federal law for safety standards for vehicles used to transport traveling sales crews (suggested as remedial legislation by the Department of Workforce Development).
AB 936 updates several Wisconsin statutes to align with current federal laws governing workforce and vocational programs. It revises references to the federal Rehabilitation Act of 1973, Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act of 2014, Social Security Act, and vehicle safety standards for traveling sales crews. The bill ensures state agencies like the Department of Workforce Development use accurate federal codes when administering programs (e.g., vocational rehabilitation services, migrant labor contractor certifications). It does not change program eligibility, funding, or requirements - only corrects outdated statutory references. This technical update helps maintain compliance with federal regulations.
