The bill would transfer specified functions of the Department of Education’s Office of Career, Technical, and Adult Education to the Department of Labor, including administration of most Perkins Act programs, Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act title II, adult education and literacy initiatives, and related coordination and improvement activities. It would also transfer associated personnel, property, records, contracts, liabilities, and funds, while requiring that the transfer not produce a net increase in full-time equivalent federal employees. The transfer would generally take effect six months after enactment, though implementation could begin earlier; existing legal documents, proceedings, and suits would generally continue under specified conditions.
