SERINO -- read twice and ordered printed, and when printed to be committed to the Committee on Rules AN ACT to amend the labor law, in relation to the identification of sectors of the local and regional economy with anticipated growth and/or potential for future growth and the assessment of underrepre- sentation of women in such sectors; and to amend the education law, in relation to establishing the New York state underrepresented women's incentive award THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Legislative intent. In order to promote economic growth, New York must pursue a workforce that is both skilled and diverse. In pursuit of this goal, the legislature seeks to identify sectors that will benefit from additional workforce development, further identify in which of those sectors women are historically underrepresented and increase the number of women trained to work in those sectors. § 2. The labor law is amended by adding a new section 10-d to read as follows: § 10-D. UNDERREPRESENTED WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT. 1. AS USED IN THIS SECTION: (A) "LOCAL WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT BOARD" MEANS A LOCAL BOARD THAT SETS POLICY FOR WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT WITHIN THE LOCAL AREA, AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 107 OF THE FEDERAL WORKFORCE INNOVATION AND OPPORTUNITY ACT OF 2014 (PUBLIC LAW NO. 113-128); AND (B) "NEW YORK STATE UNDERREPRESENTED WOMEN'S INCENTIVE AWARD" MEANS AN AWARD THAT PROVIDES EITHER FREE TUITION OR AN EDUCATIONAL GRANT AS SET FORTH IN SECTION SIX HUNDRED SIXTY-NINE-I OF THE EDUCATION LAW, OR THAT COVERS COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH ENROLLMENT IN A CERTIFICATION OR DESIG- NATION PROGRAM. 2. EACH LOCAL WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT BOARD SHALL CONVENE, AT LEAST ONCE ANNUALLY, A GROUP OF STAKEHOLDERS TO IDENTIFY SECTORS FOR GROWTH AND ENHANCED REPRESENTATION. STAKEHOLDERS MAY INCLUDE LOCAL CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE, INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT AGENCIES, EMPLOYERS, AREA TRADE UNIONS, INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER EDUCATION, AND OTHER APPROPRIATE PARTIES.
