Key provisions in H.R. 9260

• The bill funds Labor Department job and training programs. It includes about $2.6 billion for Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act programs and National Apprenticeship Act work, with set periods for spending the money.
• Job Corps would get about $880 million. The bill separates money for center operations, construction and repairs available through 2030, and administration, and it bars other appropriations from paying for Job Corps meals.
