AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would create a Department of Labor grant program for energy companies that hire service members preparing to leave the military, veterans, or their spouses. Eligible companies are those that mainly generate, transmit, store, or distribute energy, or make or distribute key energy equipment. Grants would repay hiring costs such as training, licensing, recruitment, orientation, and relocation, up to $10,000 per person hired and $500,000 per company each year. Companies receiving grants would have to file yearly reports, accept audits, and repay misused funds. The bill authorizes $60 million per year for fiscal years 2026 through 2031 and repeals two expired sections of federal law.
