Workforce Recovery and Resilience Act
A bill to amend the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act to provide to States and local areas information on the best practices for addressing the effects that substance use disorder has on the workforce, and to provide local areas with grants to provide training activities related to the treatment and prevention of substance use disorder.
This bill aims to update the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act by giving states and local areas better tools to handle the impact of substance use disorder in the workplace. It proposes providing them with information on effective strategies and offering grants to support training on substance use disorder treatment and prevention.
The bill would mainly benefit employers, employees, and local organizations by improving how they address and manage substance use disorders. This could lead to a healthier, more productive workforce and better support systems for those affected by substance use disorders.
As of August 5, 2026, the bill was introduced and referred to the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions for further review. This is the first step in the legislative process, and no actions have been taken yet beyond the initial referral.
