Referred to the House Committee on Education and Workforce.

Bill 119 HR 2058, also known as the Evidence-Based Definition Act, aims to amend the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act by providing a clear definition of the term "evidence-based." The bill seeks to ensure that programs and initiatives funded under the Act are based on solid evidence and proven effectiveness.

The bill emphasizes the importance of using data and research to guide decision-making in workforce development programs. By defining what constitutes as "evidence-based," the legislation aims to promote accountability and transparency in how taxpayer dollars are spent on these programs.

Specifically, the bill outlines that evidence-based programs must be supported by rigorous research and evaluation, including randomized controlled trials or other scientifically valid methods. This ensures that programs funded under the Act are effective in achieving their intended outcomes. Overall, Bill 119 HR 2058 seeks to strengthen the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act by ensuring that federal funds are allocated to programs that have been proven to be successful through evidence-based practices. This will ultimately lead to better outcomes for individuals seeking to improve their skills and find meaningful employment opportunities.
