(Texts of bills follow:) [H.R. 6181, 92d Cong., first sess.] A BILL To provide Federal revenues to State and local governments and afford them broad discretion in furnishing training and employment opportunities needed by individuals to qualify for satisfying and self-supporting employment Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That this Act may be cited as the "Manpower Revenue Sharing Act of 1971". STATEMENT OF FINDINGS AND PURPOSE SEC. 2. The Congress finds and declares that— (1) The Nation's prosperity, economic stability, and productive capacity are limited by a shortage of workers with sufficient skills to perform the demanding production, service, and supervisory tasks necessary in an increasingly technological society. There are also many workers who are unemployed or are employed below their capacity who, with appropriate skill development and training, could make a greater contribution to the national economy and share more fully in its benefits. (2) Experience has shown that the administration and delivery of effective manpower programs are essentially local matters, requiring a more comprehensive, unified, and flexible approach and that State and local governments are in the best position to assure the active cooperation of employers, employees, and other public and private agencies, individuals, and organizations. (3) The effectiveness of manpower programs would be improved by making resources for such purposes available to State and local governments to use with broad discretion in evaluating the needs of individual participants and allocating resources to meet those needs. (4) The Federal Government should make available to State and local governments a wide range of assistance and support to enhance the effectiveness of manpower programs. It is therefore the purpose of this Act to establish a flexible and decentralized national manpower program involving the efforts of all sectors of the economy and all levels of government, by sharing Federal revenues for the purpose of carrying out manpower training and employment activities designed to provide greater opportunities for training and related services necessary to assist individuals to develop their full economic and occupational potential. (1) AUTHORIZATION OF APPROPRIATIONS AND ALLOCATION OF FUNDS SEC. 3. (a) For the purpose of carrying out this Act, there is authorized to be appropriated without fiscal year limitation such sums as may be necessary for each fiscal year. (b) The amounts appropriated to carry out titles I and II of this Act for any fiscal year shall be allocated as follows: (1) 85 per centum shall be for training and employment activities carried out by States and eligible units of local general government under title I of this Act; and (2) 15 per centum shall be for activities carried out by the Secretary of Labor (hereinafter referred to as the Secretary) under title II of this Act. TITLE I-STATE AND LOCAL MANPOWER PROGRAMS USES OF SHARING REVENUES SEC. 101. (a) Recipient units of government shall have broad discretion as to the various uses of revenues shared under this Act for manpower program purposes. Manpower programs shall constitute a development process, essentially transitional for each participant, consisting of whatever sequence or combination of manpower services, institutional training, on-the-job training, supported employment, and ancillary services which are needed by unemployed and underemployed persons, with priority afforded to those who are disadvantaged or who receive public welfare payments, to prepare for, secure, and hold self-sustaining public and private employment not supported by revenues shared under this Act. The activities authorized under this title, among which revenues shared may be used at the discretion of recipients, are: (1) Outreach, intake, counseling, testing, work evaluation and work sampling, employability development planning, job coaching, job development (including job redesign and occupational restructuring), orientation, placement, and followup services; (2) institutional training, including basic and remedial education, improvement in communication skills, and occupational skill training, with such training provided in languages other than English, where appropriate: (3) on-the-job training for both entry and upgraded employees, providing for reimbursement of public and private employers for bona fide training and associated costs, such as where applicable, the temporary reduction in employee productivity in the course of such training; (4) Supported employment, which shall consist of— (A) work experience and temporary employment in public and private nonprofit agencies, including that affording part-time work for students in ninth through twelfth grades, and (B) transitional public service employment in Federal, State, and local government, which, within the period of support, will enable participants to move onto the employer's regular payroll or obtain other suitable public or private employment, not supported by revenues shared under this Act. (5) ancillary services, where not available without reimbursement from agencies which normally provide such services, including assistance to involuntarily unemployed workers to voluntarily relocate, residential support, minor health services (including the furnishing of prosthetic devices), voluntarily received family counseling and planning, child care, bonding, and other special services reasonably related to enhancing the employability of participants in programs assisted under this title and (6) when deemed appropriate, recipient units of government may provide allowances or other financial assistance to individuals engaged in training or other activities under this Act for which they are not directly compensated by employers. (b) Benefits (including services, employment, allowances and other financial assistance) for each participant may be continued for a period of up to one hundred four weeks. (c) Recipients of revenues shared under this Act are responsible for assuring that manpower services provided therewith are coordinated to the fullest extent possible, with similar services provided by other public or private agencies under other statutory authority to develop a comprehensive manpower program in each jurisdiction served. |
