Job Guarantee and Transition Grants for Fossil Fuel Workers to Clean Energy.
This Act establishes a grant program for local and Tribal governments to develop plans for transitioning fossil fuel workers into sustainable industries. If these transition efforts are insufficient, a National Employment Corps is created to guarantee direct employment and training for displaced workers. The goal is to ensure an equitable shift to clean energy, providing a minimum wage of $15 per hour plus benefits for guaranteed jobs.
