Senate Bill (SB) 293, signed by the Governor on September 29, 2006, replaces the Family Economic Security Act in the California Unemployment Insurance Code with provisions that generally implement the Workforce Investment Act (WIA) of 1998 in California. SB 293 took effect on January 1, 2007. Even though a majority of the provisions in SB 293 are taken from the federal WIA, there are new, unique California provisions which will require substantive changes in the workforce system.
There are also re-articulations of some federal requirements that will require interpretation and guidance to Local Workforce Investment Boards, as well as minor adjustments in the way that the state and Local Workforce Investment Boards conduct business. The first is the requirement that the California Workforce Investment Board create a strategic workforce plan for the State. The State Plan is described in SB 293 as a strategic plan for the entire workforce system, and is intended to serve as a framework for the Strategic Two-Year Plan for the WIA. It will also serve as a framework for the development of workforce policy and fiscal investment, and for the operation of California’s labor exchange, workforce education, and training programs.
