The Board’s mission is to ensure that Pennsylvania’s entire workforce system, covering many agencies and programs, meets employers’ needs for skilled workers and workers’ needs for career and economic advancement. In addition, the PA WDB coordinates workforce development initiatives and policies across commonwealth agencies and programs, and coordinates the development and implementation of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) Combined State Plan, and advises the Governor and other policy makers on policies and strategies to support the continuous improvement of the workforce development system. The Board accomplishes this work through an active committee structure aligned to the goals of the WIOA Combined State Plan, and by engaging Local Workforce Development Boards (LWDBs) and other workforce development partners. Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) The federal Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) authorizes the nation’s public workforce development system. The law sets forth the framework for how state and local workforce development systems should work together to serve job seekers and employers, including requirements for funding, employment and training priorities, program eligibility, system oversight, and monitoring. It also establishes state workforce development boards in every state. It is designed to help job seekers access the employment, education, training, and support services they need to be successful in the workplace, and to match employers with the skilled workers they need to compete in the global economy. The law also mandates that certain workforce development partners work in a coordinated way to serve jobseekers and employers, but is flexible to allow for local decision-making based on local workforce and economic conditions, and employer demand for services. Implementation of WIOA necessitates a new level of interagency collaboration, as well as ongoing and consistent outreach to workforce development system stakeholders. WIOA is divided into five titles that make up the six core programs of workforce development services. These programs share common performance measures and are required to contribute to local PA CareerLinks® and the one-stop delivery system. Title I: Adult, Dislocated Worker, Youth Title II: Adult Literacy and Education Title III: Wagner-Peyser Title IV: Vocational Rehabilitation Title V: General Provisions Together with the six core programs, WIOA requires coordination with the additional mandated partners: Perkins Career Technical Education Unemployment Insurance Page 5 Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP) Jobs for Veterans Second Chance Act Community Services Block Grant-Employment and Training Initiatives U.S. Housing and Urban Development Agency-Employment and Training Initiatives WIOA Combined State Plan WIOA mandates each state to develop and submit a four-year plan to the U.S. Department of Labor (U.S. DOL) that describes how the state will implement WIOA and align the goals and activities of the six Core Partners into a coordinated workforce development strategy. States have the option of including additional workforce development partners. In addition, WIOA requires regional and local coordination with state plans

    March 14, 2016 Senator David G. Argall, Chairman Senate Majority Policy Committee Senate Box 203029 State Capitol Building Harrisburg, PA 17120 Re: Public Hearing on Unmanned Aerial Vehicles Dear Sen. Argall: On behalf of our more than 7,500 members, the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI) would like to highlight the positive societal and economic benefits of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) technology. AUVSI is the world’s largest non-profit organization devoted exclusively to advancing unmanned systems. It is clear that, once a federal regulatory framework is established, a burgeoning UAS market is waiting to be unleashed in Pennsylvania. According to an AUVSI study, during the first 10 years after UAS are integrated into the national airspace, nearly 3,000 jobs are forecasted to be created in Pennsylvania along with over $2.36 billion in economic impact. In fact, since the FAA announced it would grant exemptions for certain low-risk commercial UAS operations in May 2014, more than three dozen Pennsylvania businesses have already received permission to use unmanned aircraft for a variety of applications. For example, Agscan, based in Broomall, received a commercial exemption to examine the condition of crops across the state. Joshua Brown, a Navy veteran and an expert in search and rescue, founded the company in 2014 and uses UAS to assess an acre of crops each minute, detecting abnormalities that are not always visible to the human eye. Using aerial data the UAS collects, AgScan can quickly identify crops that need attention for irrigation or insect problems. Another example is Pittsburgh-based Identified Technologies, which has built its business around collecting visual, infrared and gas data with UAS.

  • Senate Leaders • Sen
    The Pennsylvania House and Senate announced their 2019-2020 committee leaders. Why should I care? Committee leaders are influential members of the Pa. General Assembly. Strong relationships between them, PAMED, and physician members are key. Here are the announced committee leaders. While it may seem like some of them have nothing to do with the practice of medicine, all chairs are included because history has shown that legislation that affects physicians can get assigned to a seemingly unrelated committee due to the bill’s contents. Therefore, it’s good for physicians to be aware of all committee leaders in the Pa. General Assembly. Senate Leaders • Sen. Joe Scarnati (Jefferson) – President Pro Tempore • Sen.

  • Expanding Pharmacist-Provided Immunization Opportunities House Bill 1089 and Senate Bill 626
    Expanding Pharmacist-Provided Immunization Opportunities House Bill 1089 and Senate Bill 626 Ask your legislators: Ask your representatives to vote for House Bill 1089. As your senators to vote for Senate Bill 626. PPA supports expanding pharmacist-provided immunization opportunities because: Currently in Pennsylvania, there are approximately 9,500 certified pharmacist immunizers available to safely and conveniently administer vaccinations. The public's unique access to pharmacists – including extended hours of operation and weekend availability, coupled with being a trusted health care professional – places pharmacies in an ideal position to have a major impact on reducing vaccine-preventable illness. According to a 2008 article in the Journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics, “With supporting health policy, health education, and communication, health care settings beyond the traditional medical home (e.g. pharmacists) have the potential to effectively augment the vaccination efforts of more traditional settings to deliver vaccines to adolescents.” Thirteen other states have no age restrictions for pharmacists providing immunizations. Thirty-six states allow pharmacists to provide all immunizations to children of younger ages than provided in Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania State Senate: Senate Bill 626 sponsored by Senator Thomas McGarrigle (R-26th District) When discussing, keep in mind the following: If your senator is a current co-sponsor of Senate Bill 626 (listed below), be sure to thank them. If your senator is not a co-sponsor, ask them to co-sponsor and support the bill. Senate Bill 626 Co-Sponsors: Senator David Argall Senator Randy Vulakovich Senator Bob Mensch Senator Kim Ward Senator John Rafferty Senator Gene Yaw Senator Joseph Scarnatti Senator John Yudichack Senate Bill 626, was referred to the Senate Consumer Protection and Professional Licensure.

  • November 7, 2018 Pennsylvania Was One of the Most Closely Watched
    Keep up to date with our blog: Follow us on Twitter @BuchananGov knowingGovernmentRelations.com November 7, 2018 Pennsylvania was one of the most closely watched states in the country on Election Day. Redistricting of Congressional seats meant a shakeup was coming for the Commonwealth’s 18-member delegation. At the statewide level, the Governor and one of two U.S. Senators were on the ballot. In the state legislature, half of the 50 Senate seats (even- numbered districts) and the entire 203-seat House of Representatives were up for grabs. During the 2017-18 legislative session the Pennsylvania House of Representatives was comprised of 121 Republicans and 82 Democrats. After last night’s election, the 2018-19 legislative session will have 109 Republicans and 94 Democrats, after the Democrats picked up 11 seats. In the Pennsylvania Senate, Republicans had a majority during the 2017-18 by a margin of 34-16. Yesterday, Senate Democrats picked up 5 seats, narrowing the Republican’s majority. Next session will have 29 Republican members and 21 Democratic members. The 18-member Pennsylvania delegation had only 6 Democrats during the 115th Congress (2017-19). When new members are sworn into the 116th Congress next year, Pennsylvania’s delegation will be split, with 9 Republicans and 9 Democrats. Governor Governor Tom Wolf (D) and his running mate for Lieutenant Governor John Fetterman (D) defeated the ticket of Scott Wagner (R) and Jeff Bartos (R). Wolf received 2,799,1559 votes (57.66%), while Wagner got 1,981,027 votes (40.81%). U.S. Senate Senator Bob Casey (D) defeated Lou Barletta (R) by a margin of over half a million votes.
