Assembly Bill 936 aims to amend various sections of Wisconsin statutes to update references to federal laws related to vocational rehabilitation, workforce development, and migrant labor contracting. Key changes include updating the definition of personal assistance services in accordance with current federal law, replacing outdated references to the Workforce Investment Act of 1998 with the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act of 2014, and revising citations related to the federal Social Security Act and safety standards for vehicles transporting traveling sales crews. The bill also clarifies the requirements for migrant labor contractors regarding their registration with the Department of Workforce Development.

The proposed amendments are intended to ensure that Wisconsin's statutes align with current federal regulations and improve the administration of vocational rehabilitation and workforce programs. The updates reflect a commitment to enhancing the effectiveness of these programs and ensuring compliance with federal standards, thereby supporting the state's workforce and labor market dynamics. The bill is presented as remedial legislation, requested by the Department of Workforce Development, and is expected to facilitate better cooperation between state and federal agencies in delivering workforce services.
