"D.  It is the intent of the General Assembly that the client population served through the Education for Independence programs, previously funded under the Gender Equity set-aside of the 1990 Carl D. Perkins Vocational Education and Applied Technology Act, continue to receive services in this biennium through the Workforce Investment Act Title I programs and the state's related One-Stop Career System."


Explanation
(This amendment continues the spending authorization for the services provided under the 1990 Carl D. Perkins Vocational Education and Applied Technology Act. These services were previously funded in the Department of Social Services. Under the federal Workforce Investment Act, the responsibility for these special programs now falls to VEC through the Virginia Workforce Council.)
