Title of bill
An act requiring the department of labor to produce a report regarding summer youth employment programs funded by state, federal and local appropriations; and providing for the repeal of such provisions upon expiration thereof
Purpose
Requires the department of labor to produce a report regarding summer youth employment programs
Summary of provisions
Requires the department of labor, in coordination with the education department, the office of temporary and disability assistance, and the office of children and families to, within 180 days of the effective date, produce a report on summer youth employment programs. Such report shall determine job availability, types of job opportunities, additional demand, best practices and current standards, and additional funding that may be available or may be necessary in light of minimum wage rates.
Existing law
New
Justification
Summer youth employment programs are critical opportunities for at-risk youth in various urban areas across the state. Through a summer youth employment program, youths generally aged 14 through 24 receive paid summer employment at various employment sites within government, nonprofit, public service, and the private sector. These programs are critical educational and job training opportunities, enhance resumes of young people, and provide particular assistance to at-risk populations.
This legislation requires the Department of Labor, the Education Department, the Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance, and the Office of Children and Families to prepare a report studying current practices within various summer youth employment programs. This study shall help provide guidance on best practices, current opportunities, and places for improvement, including how additional funding could help expand opportunities.
