Read twice and referred to the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions.
The WIOA Planning Extension Act would extend workforce development planning cycles from four years to five years under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act. The bill affects state workforce agencies, local workforce development boards, and programs serving migrant and seasonal farmworkers by giving them longer planning horizons to develop and implement their workforce programs. The legislation also adjusts related requirements, such as when local boards must hold reviews and elections and how performance is measured, to align with the new five-year timeframe. No new federal funding is allocated in the bill. The changes allow workforce development programs more time between required planning updates while maintaining accountability through adjusted performance reporting timelines.
