Section § 14500

This law explains how funds from the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) individual training accounts should be used when someone enrolls in certain educational programs like adult education or community college noncredit courses. The funds are meant to add extra services beyond what state funds already support. These additional services are intended to increase the number of hours offered by the programs. State funds given to these programs can't be reduced by the amount of WIOA funds they receive. The programs must use the received WIOA funds to enhance their services.

Notwithstanding any other provision of law, when a person using his or her Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act individual training account enrolls in an adult education program, a noncredit curricula program at a community college, or a regional occupational center or program, for which state funds are allocated, all of the following shall apply:

(a) The entities administering the program may use Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act individual training account funds only to increase the number of hours of services provided above their adult block entitlement pursuant to Section 52616 of the Education Code and funding limit for regional occupational center programs for the purpose of enhancing services already supported with state funds. Any state funds provided to these entities above their adult block entitlements and funding limit for regional occupational center programs shall be subject to an appropriation in the annual Budget Act.

(b) Any state funds allocated to the entity administering the program shall not be offset with the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act individual training account funds.

(c) The entity administering the program shall use the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act individual training account funds received for the program.
