BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE 

Under current law, workforce development boards are composed of various
representatives of the overall workforce of this state, including the
private sector, organized labor and community based organizations,
education agencies, vocational rehabilitation agencies, public assistance
agencies, economic agencies, and the public employment sector.  However,
there are no representatives of veterans of the armed forces of the United
States included on a local workforce development board (board).   House
Bill 218 adds veterans to the list of members who compose a board. 

RULEMAKING AUTHORITY

It is the opinion of the Office of House Bill Analysis that this bill does
not expressly delegate any additional rulemaking authority to a state
officer, department, agency, or institution. 

ANALYSIS

House Bill 218 amends the Government Code to add representatives of
veterans of the armed forces of the United States to the list of members
who compose a local workforce development board.  The bill also provides
for the implementation of the change in membership requirements.
