| FY 2002-03 CAREER DEVELOPMENT BUDGET - BOILERPLATE HIGHLIGHTS |
| FY 2002-03 Senate Passed: |
| 1. Early Retirement Savings. The
Governor's revised recommendation (submitted after House action) recognizes
savings from the State's early retirement program. It requires the State Budget Director to
request legislative transfers by
November 15, 2002 to apply early retirement savings to affected line items. The Senate
concurs. The House did not
include this. (Sec. 261) |
| 2. Work First Participation Requirements.
The Governor recommends that the participation requirement be set at 40
hours per week, deletes reporting requirements, deletes the requirement that DCD and the
Family Independence Agency
(FIA) should have joint guidelines on how educational programs count toward the work
requirement. Instead, the bill
provides that the guidelines should not conflict and should be presented to applicants at a joint
orientation. The Governor
also recommends deleting authorization for a participant to enroll in a second short-term
training program, if the
combined training does not exceed 6 months. The House sets the participation requirement at
"up to 40" hours per week,
requires consideration for transportation issues, retains the option for a second training
program, and allows 1 year of a 2-year undergraduate program or the last year of a 4-year
undergraduate program. The Senate sets participation
requirement at "up to 40" hours per week, requires consideration for transportation issues,
retains ability for a client to
have a second short training program, maintains reporting requirements, eliminates
requirement for FIA to have
consistent guidelines, and adopts the other Governor's recommendations. (Sec.
305) |
| 3. Ticket to Work. The Governor and
House recommend deleting a requirement that DCD work with the Department
of Community Health to establish a Medicaid buy-in program for disabled persons who work.
The Senate retains the
language. (Sec. 320) |
| 4. Created for Caring. The Executive
and Senate recommend deleting language that requires DCD and FIA to work
together to assist Created for Caring to compete for Welfare-to-Work grants. The House
maintains current law. |
| 5. Michigan Virtual University. The
Senate recommends that the Department use available resources to support
technology-based workforce development and career planning and promote technology
partnerships between public
education and the business sector. The House did not include this. (Sec. 328) |
| 6. Work First Funding Distribution. The
Senate added language requiring the Department to maintain current funding
distribution. The House did not include this. (Sec. 330) |
| 7. Focus HOPE. The Senate adds
reporting language for this grant allocation. The House did not include this. (Sec.
329) |
