June 2009 Panel Meeting Canceled
The Employment Training Panel (ETP) meeting scheduled for June 26, 2009 has been cancelled, due to uncertainties regarding ETP's 2009-10 budget. Action taken this past week by the Legislative Budget Conference Committee could significantly impact the Panel's Budget Year appropriation and puts in question the Panel's approach to funding new training projects in 2009-10.
The next Panel meeting will be scheduled once the revised 2009-10 Budget Act is signed and ETP's funding situation is clarified. Proposed training projects that were to be heard by the Panel in June, will be considered at that time.
What's New
ETP 2009-10 Budget Updates
ETP's budget appropriation for 2009/10 is now proposed for substantial reduction based on action taken by the Joint Legislative Conference Committee the week of 6/15. This budget language is being proposed by the Legislature for inclusion in legislation that will revise the existing Budget Act for 2009/10 to offset the continuing state budget deficit and must yet be approved by both houses of the California Legislature and signed by Governor. See the Budget Update section for more information on the 2009/10 budget.
ETP 83 Process To Be Discontinued
With the Governor's signing of Assembly Bill AB 2570 (which streamlines some Employment Training Panel program requirements), effective 01/01/2009, contractors will no longer be required to submit enrollment certifications for retrainees employed less then 90 days prior to the start of training. (i.e., Form ETP 83). This change will be in effect until further notice.
