Evidence

The law makes crucial updates to our national workforce development by empowering state and local community leaders and improving alignment with in-demand jobs.

Foxx’s current issue page still frames her workforce-development position around state and local control, but it does not show any new delivery, vote, or implementation action in the 2026-05-12 to 2026-05-14 lookback window.

In 2014, the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA), which provided a long overdue reform of the Workforce Investment Act, was signed into law. WIOA, a bipartisan, bicameral compromise between the Foxx-authored SKILLS Act (H.R. 803) and the Workforce Investment Act of 2013, streamlines and improves existing federal workforce development programs and fosters a modern workforce that American businesses can rely on to compete.

Foxx’s biography confirms her long-running advocacy for workforce-development reform and local flexibility, but it is historical context rather than a fresh sign of delivery in the last three days.

Foxx materially advanced the promised federal workforce-development outcome by authoring the SKILLS Act, which became part of the bipartisan Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act signed into law in 2014. The cited law updated workforce development programs, streamlined existing programs, improved alignment with in-demand jobs, and emphasized state and local community leadership, matching the promise's focus on strong workforce programs with state and local authority. Because this occurred while Foxx was serving in Congress, the timing is same_term.
