This bill amends federal workforce development law to require each state to include young people on their workforce development boards. Specifically, states must add at least one representative who is either an out-of-school youth or a young person between ages 16 and 24 who is not currently working or in school, as well as at least one representative from a youth-serving nonprofit organization. The bill also requires states to create a standing youth workforce committee within their boards to provide recommendations about youth job training and employment programs. The legislation affects state workforce boards and young people seeking job training and employment services, though it does not specify new federal funding or implementation timelines. The bill was introduced in July 2024 and referred to the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions.
