|
(e) In consultation with local workforce development |

|
|
an entity that contracts with the board to provide one-stop |
|
|
workforce services, the board does not deliver the services or |
|
|
determine eligibility for the services[; and] |
|
|
[(4) ensure that an entity that contracts with a board
|
|
|
under this section may use, display, and advertise the entity's
|
|
|
name when providing workforce services for the board]. |
|
|
SECTION 2. This Act takes effect immediately if it receives |
