What this bill does
The Lifelong Learning Act, H.R. 10085, would amend the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act. It aims to provide more flexibility in how businesses train their existing employees, known as incumbent worker training programs. The bill also seeks to change how training program outcomes are reported and reported to allow for adjustments in performance goals for adult and dislocated worker programs. Additionally, it would expand the options for who can operate "one-stop" career centers, allowing local workforce development boards to serve in this role under certain conditions.
This bill affects businesses that participate in incumbent worker training programs, as well as states and local areas that administer these and other workforce development programs. Specifically, it could alter the allocation of funds for certain training programs and the reporting requirements for program performance. The expansion of one-stop operator flexibility could also impact how career services are delivered to job seekers.
H.R. 10085 was introduced in the House of Representatives on August 13, 2026, and has been referred to the Committee on Education and Workforce. As the bill has just been introduced, it has not yet been passed by either the House or the Senate and would need to go through the legislative process in both chambers before potentially becoming law.
