Recreating the apprenticeship and training advisory committee
HB 160 by Rodriguez (Madla)DIGEST:,
GOVERNOR'S-
REASON
FOR VETO:'
RESPONSE
NOTES:HB 160 would have recreated the Apprenticeship and Training Advisory
Committee (ATAC) as a separate committee under the Texas Workforce
Commission (TWC). In 1993, the duties of ATAC were incorporated into the-
duties of the Texas Council on Workforce and Economic Competitiveness,
which currently has one member representing apprenticeships. Under HB
160, ATAC would have been composed of 15 members, appointed by TWC's
executive director to serve four-year terms, representing groups involved in
- apprenticeship and -training fields. One duty of ATAC would have been to
create a statewide plan for the development of a comprehensive program of
apprenticeship training.
"HB 160 creates an advisory committee that is unnecessary. The current law
provides anexisting framework which properly facilitates comprehensive
workforce services, including apprenticeship."
Former Rep , now Congressman,Ciro'Rodriguez, the author of HB 160, said:
"I look forward to working with small businesses and workers who seek to
expand and promote apprenticeship training in Texas. We must seek to
extend the scope of apprenticeship-specific statewide coordination from the
current sole-member representation. Only by such an increase in
representation can we improve the efficient distribution of the limited
resources we have and ensure adequate input from all regions and
businesses.
HB 160 passed the House on the Local and Consent Calendar and was not
analyzed in a Daily Floor Report.
