Worker Tariff Relief Program Act; enact

Summary

The bill establishes the Worker Tariff Relief Program, run by the Georgia Department of Labor, to provide temporary cash assistance, job‑placement services, training, and other support to workers whose employment loss, reduced hours, or wage cuts are directly linked to federal trade actions. It targets individuals in industries or regions most affected by tariffs or related trade disruptions and limits benefits to 26 weeks unless the department extends them. Funding for the program must be appropriated by the General Assembly each year.
