Effective - 28 Aug 2019, 3 histories   620.806. Missouri one start job development fund established, use of moneys — rulemaking authority. — 1. There is hereby created in the state treasury a fund to be known as the "Missouri One Start Job Development Fund", that shall be administered by the department for the purposes of the Missouri one start program. The fund shall consist of all moneys which may be appropriated to it by the general assembly and also any gifts, contributions, grants, or bequests received from federal, private or other sources, including, but not limited to, any block grant or other sources of funding relating to job training, school-to-work transition, welfare reform, vocational and technical training, housing, infrastructure, development, and human resource investment programs which may be provided by the federal government or other sources. The state treasurer shall be custodian of the fund and may approve disbursements from the fund in accordance with sections 30.170 and 30.180. Notwithstanding the provisions of section 33.080 to the contrary, any moneys remaining in the fund at the end of the biennium shall not revert to the credit of the general revenue fund. The state treasurer shall invest moneys in the fund in the same manner as other funds are invested. Any interest and moneys earned on such investments shall be credited to the fund.  2. The department may provide financial assistance through the training program to qualified companies that create new jobs which will result in the need for training, or that make new capital investment relating directly to the retention of jobs in an amount at least five times greater than the amount of any financial assistance. Financial assistance may also be provided to a consortium of a majority of qualified companies organized to provide common training to the consortium members' employees. Funds in the Missouri one start job development fund shall be appropriated, for financial assistance through the training program, by the general assembly to the department and shall be administered by a local education agency certified by the department for such purpose. Except for state-sponsored preemployment training, no qualified company shall receive more than fifty percent of its training program costs from the Missouri one start job development fund. No funds shall be awarded or reimbursed to any qualified company for the training, retraining, or upgrading of skills of potential employees with the purpose of replacing or supplanting employees engaged in an authorized work stoppage. Upon approval by the department, training project costs, except the purchase of training equipment and training facilities, shall be eligible for reimbursement with funds from the Missouri one start job development fund. Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, no qualified company within a service industry shall be eligible for assistance under this subsection unless such qualified company provides services in interstate commerce, which shall mean that the qualified company derives a majority of its annual revenues from out of the state.  3. Upon appropriation, a local education agency may petition the department to utilize the Missouri one start job development fund in order to create or improve training facilities, training equipment, training staff, training expertise, training programming, and administration. The department shall review all petitions and may award funds from the Missouri one start job development fund for reimbursement of training project costs and training project services as it deems necessary.  4. The department may promulgate rules to implement the provisions of this section. Any rule or portion of a rule, as that term is defined in section 536.010, that is created under the authority delegated in this section shall become effective only if it complies with and is subject to all of the provisions of chapter 536 and, if applicable, section 536.028. This section and chapter 536 are nonseverable and if any of the powers vested with the general assembly pursuant to chapter 536 to review, to delay the effective date, or to disapprove and annul a rule are subsequently held unconstitutional, then the grant of rulemaking authority and any rule proposed or adopted after August 28, 2019, shall be invalid and void. ­­-------- (L. 2013 H.B. 196, A.L. 2017 H.B. 93, A.L. 2019 S.B. 68)  Sunset date 8-28-30, see § 620.809 Termination date 9-01-31, see § 620.809
