        Introduced  by M. of A. HYNDMAN -- read once and referred to the Commit-
          tee on Children and Families
 
        AN ACT relating to the establishment of a pilot program to  provide  job
          and  vocational  skills  training  to  youth who have been adjudicated
          juvenile delinquents or juvenile  offenders  residing  in  a  facility
          overseen  by the office of children and family services; and providing
          for the repeal of such provisions upon expiration thereof
 
          The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and  Assem-
        bly, do enact as follows:
 
     1    Section 1. Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary,
     2  the department of labor, in consultation with the office of children and
     3  family  services  shall conduct a pilot program to provide job and voca-
     4  tional skills training to  youth  who  have  been  adjudicated  juvenile
     5  delinquents  or  juvenile  offenders under article 3 of the family court
     6  act and who are residing in a facility overseen by the office  of  chil-
     7  dren and family services as defined in section 504 or 504-a of the exec-
     8  utive  law.  Such  pilot program shall be conducted in three residential
     9  facilities chosen by the office of children  and  family  services.  The
    10  office of children and family services shall choose the three facilities
    11  in  which  the  pilot  program  will be conducted as considering factors

    13  ing programs, the need for  expansion  of  such  programs,  the  average
    14  length of stay, and age of youth at the specific facilities.  Such pilot
    15  program  shall  use a combination of integrated support services, educa-
    16  tional, vocational and job skill training to provide youth  with  skills
    17  needed  to advance to higher levels of education and higher wage jobs in
    18  growing occupational fields.   Youth  wishing  to  participate  in  such
    19  program  who  are  also  attending  school  or are receiving educational
    20  services within the facility, must be given an option to participate  in
    21  the program at a time that does not conflict with their school or educa-
    22  tion schedule.
    23    §  2. The name of any youth participating in the pilot program and any
    24  other identifying information relating to the placement of such youth at
    25  a residential facility, and his or her adjudication as a juvenile delin-

     3  ized.
     4    § 3. To the extent possible, the department of labor and the office of
     5  children  and family services shall work in collaboration with community
     6  organizations operating in or around the counties where  the  facilities
     7  chosen  for  the pilot program are located. Such community organizations
     8  may include, but not be limited to, not-for-profit organizations,  faith
     9  based  organizations,  local  development  corporations  and small busi-
    10  nesses.
    11    § 4. The department of labor and the office  of  children  and  family
    12  services  shall  issue a joint report on the status of the pilot program

    14  and families, the chair of the New York state senate standing  committee
    15  on labor, the chair of the New York state assembly standing committee on
    16  children  and  families  and  the  chair  of the New York state assembly
