Representatives Blake Moore (UT-01) and Burgess Owens (UT-04) introduced the Modernizing Access to Talents, Credentials, and Hiring (MATCH) Act of 2026 to transform America’s outdated workforce system by establishing state-led talent marketplaces.
Support legislation to modernize workforce systems by establishing state-led talent marketplaces and portable learning records.
Occurrences
Evidence
Moore and Rep. Burgess Owens announced the MATCH Act of 2026, saying it would modernize the workforce system by establishing state-led talent marketplaces and portable learning records; the release says the bill connects workers to jobs and training using verified skills and credentials.
The discussion draft amends the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act to establish talent marketplaces, define learning and employment records, and create grant support for workforce data systems; the text states it was introduced and referred to committee.
Assessments
The promise was to support legislation creating state-led talent marketplaces and portable learning records. Evidence shows Blake Moore co-led and publicly announced the MATCH Act in 2026, and the bill text includes those exact workforce-modernization provisions. Because the claim is about supporting the legislation rather than enacting it into law, Moore's sponsorship and promotion of the bill satisfy the promise within his current term.
