HR 2380 Re-checks Congress.gov for new actions and updates the bill's status, and fills in any sponsors, committees, or related bills that are missing. It does not re-pull sponsors/cosponsors/committees/related — those rarely change — and it skips all work if nothing has changed upstream, so it's cheap to click.
Building Youth Workforce Skills Act
To amend the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act to authorize the use of individual training accounts for certain youth.
Summary
This bill amends the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act to allow local workforce development areas to use their funds to provide individual training accounts to eligible youth. Individual training accounts allow workers to select and pay for training services from eligible providers of their choice. The bill extends this opportunity to in-school youth ages 16-21 and out-of-school youth, using the same individual training account mechanism currently available to adults and dislocated workers.
