The division of job development and training of the department of economic development and the private industry council, also referred to as PIC, located within each service delivery area, also referred to as SDA, as authorized by section 102 of the Job Training Reform Amendments of 1992, P.L. 102-367, shall adhere to the criteria in this section in order to more effectively enhance the state's job training efforts.

2. The division, with the advice and counsel of the Missouri training and employment council, shall develop a private industry council manual to provide a standardized, written introduction for new PIC members which explains the fundamental parts of the Job Training Partnership Act, the role of the private industry councils in fulfilling their statutory obligations, and to serve as a skill-building instrument in which PIC members can assume an effective leadership role.

3. Once a year, the division, in conjunction with the Missouri training and employment council, shall conduct a centralized PIC member orientation session. The session, open to all current PIC members, will provide training in the basic programs funded through the Job Training Partnership Act, the structure of the service delivery system, and training in federal and state work force development initiatives.

4. In accordance with section 101 of the Job Training Partnership Act, as amended, the Missouri training and employment council may make recommendations to the governor for the redesignation of service delivery areas.

5. Pursuant to section 302(c) of the federal Job Training Partnership Act, special state rapid response programs or worker adjustment services will be initiated by the division. Such activities may be conducted by state and local program operators and reviewed regularly by the division for performance and funding consideration.

6. A quorum of the full membership of each private industry council shall officially meet at least once every three months. A quorum shall not be deemed to be present unless at least fifty percent of the private sector appointees are in attendance.

7. Pursuant to section 302(c)(2) of the federal Job Training Partnership Act, ten percent discretionary funds may be retained by the division until at least six months into each program year. Such funds shall then be allocated to service delivery areas that have experienced recent layoffs.

8. Each private industry council shall immediately inform the division of job development and training whenever any vacancy occurs on the PIC or when the term of a member has expired. Positions on private industry councils whose members' terms have expired and who are not replaced within ninety days shall be considered as vacant.

9. The division of job development and training is authorized to establish a minimum expenditure requirement for funds allocated to the service delivery areas under the Job Training Partnership Act. Adjustments to service delivery area allocations may be made on subsequent program year funding when underexpenditure occurs. This expenditure requirement shall be in addition to the federal requirement that in each program year eighty-five percent of federal Job Training Partnership Act funds are obligated by each service delivery area.
