Labor and Employment - Workforce Development - Hospital Employee Retraining and Placement Program and Workforce Development and Local Workforce Development Boards (Local Workforce Solutions Investment Act)

Summary

The bill creates a program that uses the Hospital Employees Retraining Fund to help workers who lose jobs because a hospital closes, downsizes, or merges. It requires the Department of Labor to send money to the local workforce development board in the affected area and to provide additional quick‑response assistance to employers and employees facing large layoffs. The changes also let local boards award grants for apprenticeship‑type training and keep any unused fund money in the retraining fund.
