Section 2600.10  Legislative

Base

a)         Federal Allocation to the State

1)         On October 13, 1982, Congress passed into law the Job Training

Partnership Act (29 U.S.C. 1501, December 31, 1982),  Public Law 97-300 as

amended, by Public Law 97-404.  The Act establishes five titles, and amends

Title V of the Wagner-Peyser Act (29 U.S.C. 3202, amended October 1, 1983) and

Title IV of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 601-676 (1983)).  The new

statute replaces the Comprehensive Employment and Training Act (29 U.S.C. 801,

effective 10/27/78), with a new program and delivery system to train

economically disadvantaged individuals and others for permanent, private sector

employment.

2)         The Job Training Partnership was enacted under Title I of the

Act. Title I enables the State to establish a service delivery system, and

outlines specific State, local and Federal responsibilities.

b)         State

1)         On August 5, 1983, the Governor and the Secretary of the U.S.

Department of Labor officially entered into an agreement for the purposes of

carrying out the provisions of the Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA) and the

Wagner-Peyser Act, pursuant to 20 CFR 627.1 effective March 15, 1983.  In the

agreement the Governor provided assurances that the State will fully comply with

the requirements of the JTPA, the Wagner-Peyser Act,  and all applicable

Federal Rules (20 CFR 626-638, effective March 15, 1983) in performing the

Governor's duties under these Acts.

2)         The Secretary provided assurances that operational systems and

requirements adopted by the Governor shall, to the extent they are consistent

with the JTPA and applicable rules and regulations, be accepted by the

Secretary.
