Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill authorizes the department of development to make a grant of up to $250,000 to the private industry council serving Grant County for a labor training and employment services program to provide workers who are residents of this state and who are affected by the closing of the FDL Foods, Incorporated, plant in Dubuque, Iowa, with job training and related employment services. The grant may be made only if the labor training and employment services are not eligible for funding under the federal job training partnership act or any other federal or state job training program, the private industry council submits a plan detailing the proposed use of the grant proceeds and the secretary of development approves that plan. No grant proceeds may be paid after July 1, 1996. If it receives a grant, the private industry council must submit a report on the use of the grant proceeds within 6 months after the proceeds are spent.
