Plain-English Summary

The bill would create a new government bureau dedicated to helping workers aged 55 and older find jobs, access training programs, and address age discrimination in the workplace. This new agency would work to connect older Americans with employment opportunities and provide resources to both workers and employers dealing with age-related hiring and retention issues. The proposal aims to support older workers who want to continue working or re-enter the job market.
