On Page 29, increase funding for the Women’s Bureau within the total for Departmental Management at the Department of Labor to $23,000,000 and insert the following language: Women’s Bureau—The Committee bill includes $23,000,000 for the Women’s Bureau. The Committee continues bill language allowing the Bureau to award grants, including not less than $5,000,000 for grants authorized by the Women in Apprenticeship and Nontraditional Occupations Act.

Dean's amendment raises Women's Bureau funding and preserves a minimum grant amount for WANTO-authorized grants.

Assessments

Public state: unverified As of unknown · legacy_unverified · . Original AI recommendation (not independently established): delivered. later_term

The FY2026 appropriations law enacted while Dean remained in federal office provided $23 million for the Women's Bureau and required at least $5 million for WANTO grants. The later FY2026 grants listing shows about $10 million made available for WANTO, exceeding the promised floor. Because the promised funding outcome was achieved in a later congressional term rather than the initial term context, this counts as delivered with later_term timing.
