1An Act to renumber 20.445 (1) (e); and
to amend 106.13 (1) and 106.13 (3m)
2(b) (intro.) of the statutes;
relating to: increasing funding for local youth
3apprenticeship grants, increasing positions for the Governor's Work-Based
4Learning Board, and making appropriations.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, the Governor's Work-Based Learning Board (GWBLB),
which is attached to the Department of Workforce Development (DWD), awards
grants to local partnerships for the implementation and coordination of local youth
apprenticeship programs under which employers are recruited to provide
on-the-job training and supervision for students who are recruited to participate in
those programs. Currently, $1,100,000 in general purpose revenues (GPR) is
appropriated in each of fiscal years 2003-04 and 2004-05 for those grants. This bill
increases the amounts appropriated for those grants by $400,000 GPR in fiscal year
2003-04 and by $1,103,000 GPR in fiscal year 2004-05. The bill also increases the
general program operations appropriation of DWD by $230,000 in GPR fiscal year
2004-05 for the purpose of increasing the authorized full-time equivalent positions
of DWD by 2.0 positions for the performance of services for the GWBLB.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be
printed as an appendix to this bill.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
