DEMO Act

This bill would create federal grants for demonstration projects that provide education and training in health care jobs to low-income people who have an arrest or conviction record. The grants would go to groups such as local workforce boards, state and tribal governments, colleges, hospitals, health centers, and certain nonprofits and labor organizations, and each project would run for at least 3 years. Projects must give participants access to legal help with their records, and applicants must show their state allows people with certain records to get health care credentials. The bill sets aside $10 million for fiscal year 2026 and requires the government to evaluate the projects.
