Present law provides that moneys from the special fund are to be used only for the purpose
of upgrading employee job skills through training.
Present law provides that the Incumbent Worker Training Program reauthorization shall be
expressly renewed by the legislature prior to July 1, 2014, in order for amounts to be charged
and credited to the Incumbent Worker Training Account in the following calendar year for
use in funding the program.
Proposed law extends the authorization of the Incumbent Worker Training Program from
July 1, 2014, to July 1, 2018.
Effective upon signature of the governor or lapse of time for gubernatorial action.
