AB 1219

This bill requires the Department of Workforce Development to study the

creation of a job guarantee and full employment grant program. Under the program,

DWD and municipalities provide grants to public and nonprofit employers in the

care economy to provide certain job opportunities in positions covered by a collective

bargaining unit to individuals with disabilities, heads of households with incomes

that are 150 percent or less than the federal poverty line, individuals who have been

unemployed for extended periods, individuals who were previously incarcerated,

and individuals between 18 and 24 years old. The bill requires DWD to submit a

report with the findings and recommendations.
