commission by rule shall develop a job placement incentive program
under which persons with whom local workforce development boards

Code, are provided incentives for placing recipients of financial
assistance participating in employment programs under Chapter 31,
Human Resources Code, in higher-wage jobs, as determined by the
commission.
(b) In developing guidelines for the job placement
incentive program, the commission shall:

necessary to lift recipients of employment services out of poverty
and into self-sufficiency; and
(B) the self-sufficiency wage developed for each
local workforce development board under the Workforce Investment
Act of 1998 (29 U.S.C. Section 2801 et seq.); and
(2) involve representatives of local workforce
development boards in developing guidelines for the program and the
measures for higher-wage jobs.
(c) The commission shall administer the job placement
incentive program through the local workforce development boards.
(d) A local workforce development board that provides a
monetary incentive under the job placement incentive program to a
person with whom the board contracts for employment services shall
require the person to use the money for expenses relating to
education, training, and support services necessary to prepare,
place, and maintain recipients of financial assistance in jobs
paying wages that allow those recipients to attain
self-sufficiency.
