## Summary

**Measure and plan for AI's impact on the workforce**. This bill creates a federal framework to collect better data, produce forecasts, and guide training, grants, and policy so workers and agencies can respond to AI-driven job shifts. - Workers: Requires WARN notices to say when AI was a substantial factor in mass layoffs, estimate the percent of jobs lost to AI, and describe upskilling actions. It also directs a study to design a Rapid AI Adjustment Assistance Program and sets a 300‑day deadline for Labor Department guidance on AI's role in layoffs. - State and local workforce agencies: Requires boards to consider published AI forecasts when updating in‑demand occupation lists and offers technical assistance. The bill authorizes $3.0 million for these supports for fiscal years 2026–2030. - Data, private sector, and federal capacity: Creates a voluntary private data‑sharing program with confidentiality protections and a public roster. It establishes an Artificial Intelligence Workforce Research Hub, allows up to 20 excepted‑service AI experts, and funds forecasting and prize competitions, including $18.0 million for forecasting and evaluation efforts. *Authorizes roughly $53.5 million in program funds for fiscal years 2026–2030, which would increase federal spending over that period.*
