This bill transfers career and technical education and adult education programs from the Department of Education to the Department of Labor. Specifically, it moves oversight of the Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Act, the adult education and literacy programs under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act, and related coordination efforts to the Labor Department's Employment and Training Administration. The bill affects educators, students, and training providers who participate in these programs across states and local communities. All personnel, funding, contracts, and other resources currently supporting these programs at the Education Department would transfer to Labor, with the change taking effect six months after enactment, though early implementation is permitted. The Office of Management and Budget must ensure the transfer does not increase total federal staff and must certify compliance with the law.
