US HB7585

Establishes competitive grants through the Secretary of Labor to eligible partnerships for demonstration and pilot projects training workers displaced or at risk of displacement by automation, with grants lasting up to 4 years beginning in fiscal year 2027

Prioritizes funding for partnerships in areas with high concentrations of covered populations (individuals with employment barriers), industries likely impacted by automation, and programs offering incumbent worker training, transportation stipends, paid leave, or childcare access

Authorizes grant funds for training services in in-demand sectors, technology skills training (coding, systems engineering, IT security), equipment purchases, job search assistance, training stipends, and integrated education programs

Amends the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act to add training programs for automation-displaced workers to allowable adult and dislocated worker employment activities, and adds "advances in automation technology" as a trigger for National Dislocated Worker Grants

Authorizes $40,000,000 annually for fiscal years 2027-2031 for National Dislocated Worker Grants related to automation, plus "such sums as may be necessary" for the new demonstration grant program
