California Green Collar Jobs Act of 2008: California Workforce Investment Board.

The California Green Collar Jobs Act of 2008 requires the California Workforce Investment Board to establish a special committee, known as the Green Collar Jobs Council, comprised of the appropriate representatives from the board's existing membership, including the K–12 representative, the California Community Colleges representative, the Governor's Office of Business and Economic Development representative, the Employment Development Department representative, and other appropriate members. The act authorizes the council to consult with other state agencies, other higher education representatives, local workforce investment boards, and industry representatives as well as philanthropic, nongovernmental, and environmental groups, as appropriate, in the development of a strategic initiative, as prescribed. The act authorizes the board to accept any revenues, moneys, grants, goods, or services from federal and state entities, philanthropic organizations, and other sources, to be used for purposes relating to the administration and implementation of the strategic initiative. The act requires the board to ensure the highest level of transparency and accountability and make information available on the board's internet website. This bill would make a nonsubstantive change to those provisions.
