Introduction

One of the most useful tools, when new legislation is being con-templated in a given state, is a collection of similar legislation thathas been enacted by other states. 'Although the details may beinappropriate, the approach and many of the individual provisionsmay be well suited to the needs of a state on the verge of legislat-ing a new prograM.

In recent years states legislatures have enacted a number of newlaws in the area of career education and a number of others areconsidering such action, Existing laws contain a wide range ofapproaches, from fairly limited resolutions to fully developedcareer education legislation. In some states, career education hasalso been integrated into legislation that is concerned with educa-tional reform.

As an aid to individuals who are currently reviewing approaches todeveloping state career education legislation, existing legislationhas been compiled and is included in this volume, It is designed toserve as a companion report to ECS Report No. 118, Legislating forCareer Education: A flatuthook for State Policy Makers, The tworeports provide xth a guide to developing career education legisla-tion (Report No. 118) and the examples of legislation that havealready been.enacted in 21 states (included in this report),

These two reports have been developed with the guidance andassistance of a,nationalTask Force on Career Education chaired byGovernor George Busbee of Georgia, The twelve members of theTask Force are nationally recognized leaders in career educationfrom the business/industry and labor communities as well as repre-sentatives of education and government. It is the intention of thetask force, through the publication of these two reports, to assistinterested individuals in preparing career education legislationthat is appropriate to their needs and circumstances.

For further information and assistance in the development ofcareer education legislation, contact Carol Andersen, LegislativeAnalyst, Career Education Project, at the ECS address. The staff-ofthe project, as well as the individual -members of the task force,are available to provide additional information and assistanceupon request. k

Before turning to the state legislatioyi included here, a few wordsare in order on the content and organization of this report. Aftercontacting state education agencies and legislative reference
