532 - Employment districts and offices.

  532.  Employment  districts  and  offices.    1.  Establishment and
  maintenance. The commissioner may divide the state into such  number  of
  employment  districts  as he finds necessary to carry out the provisions
  of this  article  and  maintain  a  district  office  in  each  of  said
  districts.  The  commissioner  shall  establish  such  number  of  local
  employment offices as he finds necessary, which offices, in addition  to
  the other duties prescribed herein and by the commissioner, shall act as
  free public employment exchanges.
Such  exchanges  shall  provide  and  maintain  special  services  for
  unskilled workers and public assistance recipients, which services shall
  include but not be limited to:  maintenance of current registers of  all
  opportunities  for employment in which such workers and recipients would
  be able to engage which are brought to the attention of such  exchanges;
  special  activities to seek out and develop employment opportunities for
  such  workers  and  recipients;  employment  preparation  services;  and
  continued  counseling  before  and  after  referral  of such workers and
  recipients to employment opportunities.
2. Cooperation with other agencies. The commissioner is authorized  to
  cooperate  with  or  to  enter into agreements with the federal railroad
  retirement board or any other agency of the United States  charged  with
  the  administration  of  an  unemployment  compensation  law,  with  any
  political subdivision of this state,  or  with  any  private  non-profit
  organization, with respect to the establishment, maintenance, and use of
  free  employment  service facilities and free public employment offices,
  and as a part of any such agreement the commissioner may accept  moneys,
  services,  or  quarters  as  a  contribution  to the special "employment
  service account" in the unemployment administration fund.
