| 43 | + | SECTION 1. The legislature finds that state workforce development boards assist the governors by reviewing statewide policies and programs, and making recommendations to align workforce, education, training, and employment programs in a manner that supports a comprehensive and coordinated workforce development system in the state. As part of the statewide review function in assisting the governors, the federal Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act and related regulations outline requirements regarding conflicts of interest for recipients and subrecipients of federal awards as well as for state and local workforce development boards and standing committee members. The legislature further finds that Act 88, Session Laws of Hawaii 2021, also known as the General Appropriations Act of 2021, eliminated the program identification number for the Hawaii workforce development council and transferred its appropriation and positions to the workforce development division of the department of labor and industrial relations. The legislature also finds that reports on the activities of the k-12 agriculture workforce development pipeline initiative are no longer needed and that the requirement should be repealed from section 371-21, Hawaii Revised Statutes. The purpose of this Act is to: (1) Rename the "Hawaii workforce development council" to the "Hawaii workforce development board"; (2) Clarify that the workforce development board is administratively attached to the department of labor and industrial relations, and as such, its program identification number, appropriations, and positions are to be transferred from the workforce development division; and (3) Conform the state workforce development board statute to the nomenclature and conflict of interest provisions found in the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act and related regulations in the Code of Federal Regulations. SECTION 2. Chapter 202, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by adding a new section to be appropriately designated and to read as follows: "§202- Conflict of interest. (a) The workforce development board and local workforce development boards shall develop written conflict of interest policies consistent with P.L. 113-128 (29 U.S.C. 3111(f) and 3122(h)), title 29 Code of Federal Regulations section 97.36, title 20 Code of Federal Regulations parts 679 and 683, title 2 Code of Federal Regulations parts 200 and 2900, as amended, and chapter 84. (b) Separate from and in addition to any standards of conduct set forth in chapter 84, a member or standing committee member of the workforce development board, or a member or standing committee member of a local workforce development board shall not: (1) Vote on or participate in a discussion about a matter under consideration by the board or standing committee: (A) Regarding the provision of services by the member, or by an entity the member represents; or (B) That would provide direct financial benefit to the member or the member's immediate family; or (2) Engage in any other activity determined by the governor to constitute a conflict of interest under P.L. 113-128 (29 U.S.C. 3111(f) and 3122(h)), title 29 Code of Federal Regulations section 97.36, title 20 Code of Federal Regulations parts 679 and 683, and title 2 Code of Federal Regulations parts 200 and 2900, as amended."
