This bill, titled the Joint Select Committee on Job Creation Act of 2011, establishes a special committee composed of 12 members from both the House of Representatives and the Senate, with co-chairs appointed by the Senate Majority Leader and the Speaker of the House. The committee's primary goal is to develop and propose legislative solutions aimed at restoring the nation's workforce to full employment during fiscal years 2012 and 2013. It requires the committee to submit a report containing its findings and recommendations, along with specific legislative language, by November 23, 2011, with a deadline for transmitting these proposals to congressional leadership and the President by December 2, 2011. The bill also outlines an expedited process for considering these recommendations in both the House and Senate, aiming for passage by December 23, 2011, and mandates that the committee will terminate on January 31, 2012. Funding for the committee will be equally split between the House of Representatives and the Senate.
