Adds a new allowable use of employment and training fund moneys for costs to administer, manage, report, and oversee Title I programs under the federal Workforce Investment Act of 1998.

Clarifies that moneys collected as part of the 2011 employment and training assessment for paying federal loan interest are to support workforce training activities and economic recovery.

Takes effect on July 1, 2013, and includes a severability clause stating that any provisions conflicting with federal requirements are inoperative to the extent of the conflict.
