The commissioner of the Department of Unemployment Assistance will be required to submit an annual report to the legislature on the collection of these workforce competitiveness trust fund contributions, including the amount collected, the number of contributing employers, and the total number of employees covered. 3. The funds collected through these additional employer contributions will be deposited into the Workforce Competitiveness Trust Fund, which can be used to support job training, education, and other workforce development initiatives in the state.
