  commissioner.
2.  Evaluate  the entrepreneurial assistance centers established under
  this article and report  annually,  on  or  before  January  first,  two

  legislature.  Such  report shall discuss the extent to which the centers

  dislocated  workers  and  veterans;  the  extent  to  which the training
  program is coordinated with other assistance programs targeted to  small

  sources of funding and support; and the success of the program in aiding
  entrepreneurs to start up new businesses, including the  number  of  new
  business  start-ups  resulting  from  the  program.  Such  report  shall
  recommend changes and improvements in the training program  and  in  the

  the  programs  established  under  this  article  prepared  by an entity
  independent of the department. Such evaluation  shall  be  submitted  by
  January  first,  two  thousand twenty-one and by January first every two
  years thereafter.
