Workforce Recovery and Resilience Act

This bill changes the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act to address how substance use disorders affect jobs and the workforce. It requires the Secretary of Labor to review and share with states and local areas information on practices for addressing the economic and workforce effects of high rates of substance use disorders, updated every year. It also allows national dislocated worker grants to fund job training related to preventing and treating substance use disorders, including addiction treatment, mental health treatment, and pain management, in areas where demand exceeds state and local resources. People eligible for training under these grants include dislocated workers, long-term unemployed people, people out of work or underemployed due to local substance use, and people working or seeking work in related health care jobs.
