CS FOR SENATE BILL NO. 289(FIN) am An Act relating to technical and vocational education and to employment assistance and training; and providing for an effective date. Co-Chair Therriault provided members with a proposed committee substitute, work draft 1-LS1525\W, Ford, dated 4/24/00. [Copy on File]. MIKE TIBBLES, STAFF, REPRESENTATIVE THERRIAULT, reviewed the proposed committee substitute noting the changes. In Section 3, there is a reduced percentage of wages from 2/10th to 1/10th of a percent. Additionally, there has been a change to the employee contribution amount reduced from 2/10th to 1/10th of 1%. Mr. Tibbles noted that the percentage amounts from the first year operations indicated on Page 6 had been changed. Representative J. Davies asked if the funding of the State Training Employment Program (STEP) program had been included. Co-Chair Therriault interjected that the funding for the STEP program was attached to the fiscal note and that it would be determined in Conference Committee. Co-Chair Mulder MOVED to ADOPT the work draft. There being NO OBJECTION, it was adopted. DWIGHT PERKINS, DEPUTY COMMISSIONER, DEPARTMENT OF LABOR AND WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT, commented that reduction was appreciated. He suggested that 5/10th would be a better amount. Co-Chair Therriault commented that there would need to be new fiscal notes. Mr. Tibbles noted that there might be a replacement fiscal note for the Senate Finance Committee with a new number of $3.225 million dollars. He noted that there are two fiscal notes included in the packet. MARY JACKSON, STAFF, SENATOR JOHN TORGERSON, explained that the proposed new program would be for a 9 month collection instead of 12 months. She reiterated that the STEP program would be 12 months and the new program would run for 9 months. Mr. Perkins noted that the Department would provide an updated fiscal note. Representative Foster MOVED to report HCS CS SB 289 (FIN) out of Committee with individual recommendations and with the accompanying fiscal notes. There being NO OBJECTION, it was so ordered. HCS CS SB 289 (FIN) was reported out of Committee with a "no recommendation" and with fiscal notes by the House and Senate Finance Committees and Department of Labor and Workforce Development.
