The bill amends the introductory paragraph of R.S. 46:353(A)(1) and enacts new subsections R.S. 46:353(A)(1)(o) through (s) to establish a workforce training pilot initiative aimed at improving employment opportunities for public assistance recipients in Louisiana. The initiative, now referred to as "Louisiana's pathway to independency workforce training and education pilot initiative," will be administered by state partners in collaboration with an advisory board. This board will include various stakeholders, including the executive directors of workforce investment boards from specific parishes.

The newly added subsections (o) through (s) specify the inclusion of executive directors from workforce investment boards in Concordia, Madison, Morehouse, Richland, and Tensas Parishes as members of the advisory board. This collaborative approach aims to enhance interagency cooperation and ensure that the initiative effectively addresses the needs of public assistance recipients, ultimately promoting workforce advancement and independence.
