What this bill does
S. 3339, the AI Workforce PREPARE Act, directs federal agencies to improve how the government tracks and forecasts artificial intelligence's effects on jobs and the workforce. It requires the Secretary of Labor to solicit public comment and hold expert workshops on how to design data collection and forecasting tools related to AI's workforce impact, and to report the results to Congress. It creates temporary hiring authority allowing the Department of Labor to recruit up to 20 technical experts in AI, machine learning, and data science, with special pay flexibility, for terms of up to four years. It also establishes an AI Workforce Research Hub at the Department of Labor to work with the Census Bureau, Bureau of Economic Analysis, and Bureau of Labor Statistics on research and scenario planning, and launches a Census Bureau pilot project producing statistical data on worker flows between occupations affected by AI.
The bill primarily affects federal agencies—especially the Departments of Labor and Commerce—researchers, state workforce agencies, training program administrators, and, indirectly, workers and industries affected by AI-driven changes in labor demand. It authorizes funding of $2 million (2026–2030) for the comment/workshop process and $6 million (2026–2030) for the hiring authority, while directing that the Research Hub be funded from existing program funds rather than new appropriations.
The bill was introduced in the Senate on December 3, 2025, by Senator Jim Banks with several cosponsors, and referred to the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions. It has not yet received a committee vote, floor action, or been enacted; further steps would include committee consideration before any vote by the full Senate.
