Sec. 661.300  What is the Local Workforce Investment Board?


    (a) The Local Workforce Investment Board (Local Board) is appointed 
by the chief elected official in each local area in accordance with 
State criteria established under WIA section 117(b), and is certified by 
the Governor every two years, in accordance with WIA section 117(c)(2).
    (b) In partnership with the chief elected official(s), the Local 
Board sets policy for the portion of the Statewide workforce investment 
system within the local area.
    (c) The Local Board and the chief elected official(s) may enter into 
an agreement that describes the respective roles and responsibilities of 
the parties.
    (d) The Local Board, in partnership with the chief elected official, 
develops the local workforce investment plan and performs the functions 
described in WIA section 117(d). (WIA sec.117 (d).)
    (e) If a local area includes more than one unit of general local 
government in accordance with WIA section 117 (c)(1)(B), the chief 
elected officials of such units may execute an agreement to describe 
their responsibilities for carrying out the roles and responsibilities. 
If, after a reasonable effort, the chief elected officials are unable to

from individuals nominated or recommended as specified in WIA section 
117(b).
    (f) If the State Plan indicates that the State will be treated as a 
local area under WIA title I, the Governor may designate the State Board
