AI Summary
This bill provides $3 million in additional funding to Oregon's Employment Department (OED) for the 2025-2027 biennium, specifically to support workforce reentry programs for adults in custody through the WorkSource Oregon system. The funding will come from the General Fund and is meant to supplement, not replace, existing appropriations. WorkSource Oregon is the state's public workforce system that helps job seekers find employment and assists businesses in finding qualified workers. The bill specifies that the new funding is specifically targeted at helping individuals who are currently incarcerated prepare for employment upon their release. The act will take effect on the 91st day after the 2025 regular session of the Oregon Legislative Assembly adjourns sine die (a legal term meaning the session ends without setting a day to reconvene).
