Current as of January 01, 2025 | Updated by Findlaw Staff

(1) Subject to section 106 of chapter 2 of the federal act concerning designation of work force development areas, on an annual basis, any county, municipality, city and county, or combination may petition the governor to form a new work force development area.

(2) Deleted by Laws 2016, Ch. 183, § 18, eff. May 19, 2016.

(3) Subject to the governor's approval, counties, municipalities, or a city and county may choose, through intergovernmental agreements, to band together to form a work force development area for an area consisting of more than one county, municipality, or city and county or may choose to operate a work force development area as a single unit. If the proposed work force development area meets the minimum federal requirements for an area as set forth in the federal act, the governor should not unreasonably withhold approval of the work force development area.

(5)(a) The governor shall designate an additional federally designated work force development area for the state, specified as the “rural consortium work force subarea”, which consists of all approved work force development subareas. Such decision shall be allowed on an annual basis, with notice to be given by February 1, for any designation to go into effect for the subsequent program year by July 1 of the same year.

(b) Any approved work force development area in the rural consortium work force development area shall operate with the same authority as, and function as if it were, a local work force development area.
