Bill > SB772

This bill requires the Maryland Department of Health to create and maintain an "Employment Training and Opportunity Database" to help individuals find vocational, workforce training, and job placement programs. The goal of this database is to assist people in becoming eligible for and keeping their eligibility for the Maryland Medical Assistance Program and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), which provides food assistance. The Department of Health will coordinate with various state agencies, businesses, labor unions, and educational institutions to gather information for the database, which will include program details and how to apply, and will be updated regularly and made available online. Additionally, the bill mandates that the Department of Health will help individuals enroll in the programs listed in the database. This initiative is intended to provide a pathway to employment and self-sufficiency for those relying on these assistance programs.
