suBJEcTLegislation - AB 1379 (Bates)
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATIONS) & BACKGROUND ANG► JUSTIFICATION
Recommendation:
Adopt a position of support for AB 1379 by Assemblyman Bates as
recommended by the Private Industry Council and the Advisory
Committee .on the Employment and Economic Status of Women. AB
1379 assures that child care will be made available to all Job
Training Partnership Act (DTPA) participants by eliminating a
provision in current law that restricts the provision of child
care funds to those participants whose child care needs are not
met by other community resources and whose child care needs can
be met within the PIC' s annual budget and instead restricts the
' provision of child care funds to those participants whose child
care needs are not met by other community resources.
Background:
Under current law Private Industry Councils are required to
provide child care funds to those DTPA participants only to the
extent the child care needs can be met within the PIC' s annual
budget. The Governor' s Budget for 1987-88 did not originally
provide funds for child care. As a result Assemblyman Bates has
introduced .AB 1379 which authorizes use of the child care and
employment fund established pursuant to Section 8422 of the
Education Code to provide child care for JTPA participants who
are not enrolled in. the Greater Avenues for Independence Program.
We believe that this will assist in insuring that adequate child
care is available during the 1987-88 fiscal year. Since
participation in the JTPA programs frequently requires child care
and to the extent that passage of AB 1379 will assure such child
care is available it is recommended that the Board support AB
1379.
