Title of bill
An act to amend the labor law, in relation to providing low interest loans to displaced homemakers and making an appropriation therefor
Existing law
Amends the labor law by adding 825-a which authorizes the Department of Labor to set up a special loan program for displaced homemakers.
Justification
The displaced homemaker is faced with a myriad of problems which ultimately centers around increased financial strain. The establishment of a low-interest loan fund would enable them to take part in job training and other educational programs which they would not otherwise be able to afford. This is especially important in times when financial aid is shrinking substantially. The fund, at a minimal cost to the state, would serve to: (1) extend job training and other educational programs to displaced homemakers with little financial security; (2) decrease the number of welfare recipients by supplying a means for homemakers in general by allowing the program to provide essential aid to carry out its goal.

Fiscal implications
Original appropriation of $270,000 to be maintained by the Department of Labor. This appropriation would become unnecessary in the future as original loans are paid back. The administration of the programs would then be supplemented by the interest of the loans.

This act shall take effect on the one hundred twentieth day after it shall have become a law.
