Bill Summary

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. For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.

AI Summary

This bill requires the Department of Workforce Development (DWD) to conduct a study on the creation of a job guarantee and full employment grant program. Under the proposed program, DWD and municipalities would provide grants to public and nonprofit employers in the "care economy" (e.g., healthcare, childcare, social services) to offer guaranteed job opportunities to certain eligible individuals, such as those with disabilities, heads of households with low incomes, the long-term unemployed, formerly incarcerated individuals, and young adults. The bill also requires DWD to submit a report with its findings and recommendations within 18 months of the bill's effective date. Additionally, the bill allocates $250,000 to DWD to conduct the study and create the report.
