SUMMARY 
This amendment makes changes to the Maine Educational and Attainment Research 
Navigation System Executive Council by designating as ex officio and nonvoting 
members the chairs of the joint standing committees of the Legislature having jurisdiction 
over workforce and education matters. It also adds an effective date of January 1, 2019 to 
the provisions of the bill that repeal the State Education and Employment Outcomes Task 
Force, in order to provide a more gradual transition of the duties of the task force to the 
duties of the executive council. Additionally, the amendment adds the State Workforce 
Investment Board as a recipient of the executive council's annual report and provides the 
Department of Labor the authority to adopt routine technical rules. 
This amendment increases the funding for the cost of the Legislators being added to 
the executive council.

Force.
