Wilson's official House release says the bill would allow bus and bus-facility grants to fund workforce development, including training programs, registered apprenticeships, and labor-management partnerships, and lists 'Supporting registered apprenticeships and labor-management training partnerships' among the bill's provisions.
Assessments
Wilson personally sponsored federal legislation in the 119th Congress, while serving in the same House term, that would expand transit workforce development funding to include registered apprenticeships and labor-management training partnerships. Because the promise was to support these programs, not necessarily to enact them into law, introducing and advancing a bill directly matching the commitment is sufficient for delivery even though the bill had only reached committee referral.
