Explanation
(This amendment continues the spending authorization for the services provided under the 1990 Carl D. Perkins Vocational Education and Applied Technology Act.

Under the federal Workforce Investment Act, the responsibility for these special programs now falls to VEC through the Virginia Workforce Council.)
