The Secretary shall establish a Full Employment National Trust Fund (in this Act referred to as the Trust Fund ) for the purposes of— providing funding for the Employment Opportunity Grants established in section 5; and issuing funds to the Secretary to fund programs under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act of 2014 ( 29 U.S.C. 3101 et seq.). Subject to the availability of appropriations for this purpose, the Secretary of the Treasury shall annually make available to the Secretary of Labor for deposit into the Trust Fund an amount equal to the amount collected for that year through the tax described in section 4475 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as added by section 8.
If the amount available in the Trust Fund for allocation under section 5 is insufficient to prevent the national unemployment rate from rising more than one full percentage point above its previously attained level, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System shall lend such additional amounts to the Trust Fund as are necessary to allow the Secretary of Labor to make such additional allocations under section 5 as are necessary to restore the national unemployment rate to its allowable 1-percent range of upward variation.
Amounts lent to the Trust Fund by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System under paragraph
(1)shall be repaid by the Trust Fund over 10 years, with interest payable at the same average rate the Federal Government contracts to pay on 10-year bonds sold during the period beginning 45 days prior to the date the loans were made to the Trust Fund and ending 45 days following such date. The Trust Fund shall consist of 2 separate accounts as follows: One account shall consist of 67 percent of the funds made available for deposit under subsection
(b)and shall be for the Employment Opportunity Grants established in section 5. The other account shall consist of 33 percent of the funds made available for deposit under subsection
(b)and shall be available to the Secretary to fund programs under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act of 2014 ( 29 U.S.C. 3101 et seq.). The Secretary shall establish an Internet Web site to serve as an information clearinghouse for job training and employment opportunities funded by the Trust Fund. The Secretary shall promulgate regulations requiring entities that receive funds under programs under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act of 2014 ( 29 U.S.C. 3101 et seq.) that are funded by the account described in subsection (d)(2) to establish training stipends for individuals who participate in such programs. The Secretary, through studies conducted by the Department of Labor or through independent studies, shall— review the effectiveness of job training and job creation programs funded under this Act; disseminate information concerning best practices for achieving the goals of the Act as well as common difficulties encountered in that endeavor; and acquire a better understanding of the true net cost of the job training and job creation programs funded under this Act by documenting the indirect effects of those programs on the revenues received and costs incurred by different levels of government.
