The race is on to get #WIOA reauthorized by the end of the year - and this is a great step in that direction. Read more about what's included in the bill in our latest blog >> https://bit.ly/3ZLGFq6
Yesterday, Congress released the legislative text of the Continuing Resolution (CR) to extend funding for the current fiscal year until March 14, 2025.

NAWB remains concerned about certain provisions in the bill and their impact on local boards’ ability to fulfill their missions – such as the redesignation process and expanding the Governor’s set-aside allowance. However, we are pleased to see several changes within the proposal that have been made since the bicameral bipartisan Committee agreement was announced a few weeks ago.
