Title: Trade Adjustment Assistance Program; Merit Staffing of State Administration and Allocation of Training Funds to the States |
|
|
Abstract: The Trade and Globalization Assistance Act of 2009 (Act), Div. B, title I, subtitle I of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, reforms and reauthorizes the Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) for Workers program. The Act amended section 236(a)(2) of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2296) setting new guidelines and criteria for distributing funds to the States for the purpose of training TAA-certified workers, and added section 236(g) requiring that the Secretary issue regulations to implement the new funding procedures within not later than one year of enactment. This rulemaking would meet that statutory requirement and also proposes that personnel engaged in TAA-funded functions be State employees covered by the merit system of personnel administration applicable to personnel employed in employment security functions. |
