AN ACT making an appropriation to Nevada Partners for the support of programs that prepare unemployed and under-employed persons to enter the workforce and make significant contributions in southern Nevada; and providing other matters properly relating thereto.

Whereas, The goal of Nevada Partners is to make a significant impact

on the southern Nevada community by empowering unemployed and

under-employed persons to take advantage of the free training programs

that Nevada Partners offers and to become aware of the potential privileges

of sustained employment; and

Whereas, Fundamental to the contract between Nevada Partners and

every client is the agreement that to successfully compete for positions in

the workforce a person must receive sufficient training, and employment in

itself is the means by which each client can achieve self-sufficiency,

independent decision-making, pride and the pursuit of positive values; and

Whereas, Because of its partnership with business, industry and

government, Nevada Partners is able to refer its graduates to valued

positions with sound organizations; and

Whereas, After the successful completion of the Nevada Partners

program, employed graduates are encouraged to "reseed" the community

by engaging in volunteer work that helps others to help themselves; now,

therefore,

THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEVADA, REPRESENTED IN

SENATE AND ASSEMBLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

2-1 Section 1. There is hereby appropriated from the state general fund to

2-2 Nevada Partners the sum of $500,000 for the support of programs that help

2-3 prepare unemployed and under-employed persons to enter the workforce

2-4 and make significant contributions in southern Nevada.

2-5 Sec. 2. This act becomes effective upon passage and approval.
