§3208 — Title 29 Labor | U.S. Code

Summary

Make sure women and men have the same chance to join and take part in Job Corps. Any studies, evaluations, proposals, or data paid for with federal money for Job Corps must belong to the United States. The Secretary and the Secretary of Education get priority from the Secretary of Defense to receive, without payment, real or personal Department of Defense property that the Defense Department does not need, for use in Job Corps or other programs. The Secretary may accept gifts of money, equipment, materials, or other help for Job Corps when they are suitable. Companies that run or provide services to Job Corps centers are not treated as making gross receipts for tax purposes. They cannot be held liable to a State for gross-receipts-style taxes or be required to collect or pay sales, excise, use, or similar taxes for items used in running a center. Each operator (and, when the Secretary decides, a service provider) must receive a fair, negotiated management fee of at least 1 percent of the funding under the relevant agreement in section 3197. If the General Services Administrator sells a Job Corps center, the sale money must go to the Secretary to use for the Job Corps program.

(b)The Secretary shall assure that all studies, evaluations, proposals, and data produced or developed with Federal funds in the course of carrying out the Job Corps program shall become the property of the United States.

(c)(1)Notwithstanding chapter 5 of title 40, and any other provision of law, the Secretary and the Secretary of Education shall receive priority by the Secretary of Defense for the direct transfer, on a nonreimbursable basis, of the property described in paragraph (2) for use in carrying out programs under this Act or under any other Act.

(d)Transactions conducted by a private for-profit or nonprofit entity that is an operator or service provider for a Job Corps center shall not be considered to be generating gross receipts. Such an operator or service provider shall not be liable, directly or indirectly, to any State or subdivision of a State (nor to any person acting on behalf of such a State or subdivision) for any gross receipts taxes, business privilege taxes measured by gross receipts, or any similar taxes imposed on, or measured by, gross receipts in connection with any payments made to or by such entity for operating or providing services to a Job Corps center. Such an operator or service provider shall not be liable to any State or subdivision of a State to collect or pay any sales, excise, use, or similar tax imposed on the sale to or use by such operator or service provider of any property, service, or other item in connection with the operation of or provision of services to a Job Corps center.

(e)The Secretary shall provide each operator and (in an appropriate case, as determined by the Secretary) service provider with an equitable and negotiated management fee of not less than 1 percent of the amount of the funding provided under the appropriate agreement specified in section 3197 of this title.

(f)The Secretary may accept on behalf of the Job Corps or individual Job Corps centers charitable donations of cash or other assistance, including equipment and materials, if such donations are available for appropriate use for the purposes set forth in this part.

(g)Notwithstanding any other provision of law, if the Administrator of General Services sells a Job Corps center facility, the Administrator shall transfer the proceeds from the sale to the Secretary, who shall use the proceeds to carry out the Job Corps program.
