<body>
<p>WIOA was signed into law on July 22, 2014. It replaced the Workforce Investment Act of 1998, including the Adult Education and Family Literacy Act (AEFLA), and amended&nbsp;the Wagner-Peyser Act and the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. WIOA promotes the integration of the workforce development system's four&nbsp;core programs. In collaboration with the Department of Labor (DOL), the Department must issue an NPRM by January 18, 2015 and final regulations by January 22, 2016. To meet this statutory timeline, the Department will work with DOL on various issues. The Department will also regulate on the programs it administers under the Rehabilitation Act and the AEFLA that were changed by WIOA.</p>
