What this bill does
Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau
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.
