American Apprenticeship Act
Introduced Feb 11, 2025 by Sen. Amy Klobuchar
It's waiting on a committee vote to reach the full chamber. Most bills never leave this stage.
This bill authorizes the Department of Labor to make grants to assist states in carrying out projects that defray the cost of pre-apprenticeship or related instruction for qualified apprenticeship programs.
Labor shall (1) establish performance measures and an evaluation system for such grant program; and (2) identify in-demand occupations that lack the use of apprenticeships, analyze the use of the qualified apprenticeship program model in those occupations, and report on such analysis to states and Congress.
Summary by the Congressional Research Service.
No floor votes yet — it hasn't reached the floor of either chamber.
