_____ workforce development board, and local workforce development boards. DIVISION I —— FUNCTIONS OF DEPARTMENT OF WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT, WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT BOARD, AND LOCAL WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT BOARDS. This division strikes department duties relating to administering a statewide employment skills assessment, selection of service providers, establishing a job posting system of education-related job openings, and functions no longer under the department pursuant to 2023 Iowa Acts, Senate File 514. The division repeals Code provisions for the Iowa conservation corps, the workforce investment program, the statewide mentoring program, the new employment opportunity program, and the nursing workforce data clearinghouse. The division generally transfers duties relating to compiling an annual report for submission to the governor and general assembly on various workforce training programs from the department to the college student aid commission. The division strikes requirements for the department to collaborate with specified education-related entities when performing certain duties. The division strikes detailed language relating to duties of the workforce development board concerning standing committees, public availability of information, comprehensive state workforce development plans, recommendations on the use of federal funds, and various other duties. The division generally provides that such duties shall be carried out as required by federal law. The division similarly modifies duties of local workforce development boards relating to local workforce development plans. DIVISION II —— UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE —— TAXABLE WAGES. _____ required to contribute to the unemployment compensation fund when the other state extends a like comity (reciprocity) to Iowa for employment purposes. The division specifies that only wages paid in Iowa can constitute taxable wages. DIVISION III —— IOWA STUDENT INTERNSHIP PROGRAM. This division strikes one of two components of the Iowa student internship program administered by the department. The component providing for financial assistance to link Iowa students to small and medium-sized Iowa firms is stricken. The component providing for financial assistance to place Iowa students studying in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics into internships that lead to permanent positions with Iowa employers is retained. The division appropriates $1,039,425 from the general fund to the department for the Iowa student internship fund. Moneys in the fund are used to increase the availability of skilled workers in innovative businesses by providing Iowa student internship opportunities. DIVISION IV —— ADULT EDUCATION AND LITERACY PROGRAMS. Under current law, the department and community colleges are required to implement and set standards for certain adult education and literacy programs. This division strikes references to community colleges so that only the department has these duties.

Description
Senate File 603 has three divisions.
Division I eliminates and modifies various programs and duties under Iowa Workforce Development (IWD). The Division also transfers certain responsibilities between IWD and the Department of Education.
Division II modifies the definition of “taxable wages” for purposes of unemployment insurance taxes on employers to exclude wages paid by Iowa employers to employees who work in another state if the other state extends reciprocity to Iowa for employment purposes. This eliminates the taxable wage credit.
Division III prevents State agencies and political subdivisions from imposing additional requirements related to apprenticeship training on contractors, except as required by State law. Counties, cities, and school districts may not impose requirements on contractors related to a contractor’s employee compensation or training except as required by State law. This Division takes effect upon enactment.
Senate File 626 (Federal Block Grant Appropriations Bill) amended Division III of SF 603 to allow cities to receive incentives contingent upon compliance with contractor employee compensation or training restrictions if required under federal law.
Background
Under current law, taxable wages include the wages paid by an Iowa employer to an employee who works in Iowa and to an employee who works in another state that extends reciprocity to Iowa for employment purposes. In Iowa, the taxable wage credit applies the wages earned in another state by an employee to the taxable wage base for that employee in a given year.
Assumptions
- 2.5% of employers in Iowa use the taxable wage credit.
- Federal funding related to unemployment insurance programs will not change.
- The full-time equivalent (FTE) positions associated with the taxable wage credit may be reassigned to other unemployment insurance activities.
Fiscal Impact
Division I is not anticipated to have a fiscal impact.
Division II is estimated to increase revenue to the Unemployment Compensation Trust Fund by $394,000 annually due to the elimination of the taxable wage credit. There are 3.0 FTE positions at an annual cost of $195,000 that administer the taxable wage credit and are paid from federal funds.
Division III is not anticipated to have a fiscal impact to the State. The Division may impact financial assistance received by counties, cities, and school districts.
