Work to provide more options for saving and more opportunities to develop skill sets for today's workforce.
Occurrences
Evidence
Wittman states, "I'm working on providing more options for saving and more opportunities for developing skill sets for today’s workforce," and points to the Freedom to Invest in Tomorrow’s Workforce Act and the PROPEL Act as his efforts on the issue.
The bill introduced by Rep. Wittman amends the Internal Revenue Code to treat certain postsecondary credentialing expenses as qualified higher education expenses for purposes of 529 accounts.
The introduced bill, backed by Wittman, expands 529 qualified expenses to include certain postsecondary credentialing expenses, and the text says it would expand qualified higher education expenses for additional elementary, secondary, and postsecondary credentialing costs.
Congress.gov lists the bill as ordered to be reported by the House Ways and Means Committee on 07/09/2024 and later reported to the House, showing it advanced beyond introduction.
Assessments
Wittman made concrete legislative efforts tied directly to the promise, including sponsoring or backing bills to expand 529 account uses for postsecondary credentialing and workforce-related education expenses. The evidence shows committee progress and reintroduction, but does not show enactment into law or a fully delivered policy outcome. Because the promise was framed as working toward more saving options and workforce skill opportunities, the record supports partial fulfillment with a clear effort badge rather than full delivery.
