Overview

Representative Suzanne Bonamici introduced H.R. 10515 on September 21, 2026. The bill was referred to the House Committee on Education and Workforce and additionally to the committees on Science, Space, and Technology and Ways and Means. It proposes a federal framework for AI education and workforce readiness, rather than setting current legal requirements.[1]

Proposed measures

The introduced text would establish AI education and training programs, including grants for disrupted career pathways and a pilot for stackable micro-credentials. It also proposes a national AI workforce strategy, apprenticeships and reskilling grants, and programs intended to broaden access to AI education and careers.[1]

The bill separately addresses AI's environmental impacts and student and worker data privacy. Its education-technology provisions would direct development of an AI risk-assessment framework covering privacy, bias, safety and security; another section addresses automated decisions in federally funded workforce programs. These measures depend on enactment.[1]

Legislative status

GovInfo identifies the September 21, 2026 introduction as the latest listed action as of October 6. No enacted or effective date is recorded.[2]
