In this section, the term local , with respect to hiring for a project, means hiring within the geographical boundaries of the area in which the project is located, as determined by the recipient of assistance under a covered infrastructure program, in coordination with the head of the relevant Federal agency, subject to the requirement that the geographical area shall— include high-poverty, high-unemployment zip codes; and be the size of a county, multi-county, statewide, or multi-State region. Nothing in paragraph
(1)prohibits interstate hiring. Notwithstanding any other provision of law and to the maximum extent practicable, except to the extent that the head of the relevant Federal agency determines otherwise, in the case of any construction project carried out under a covered infrastructure program, the head of the relevant Federal agency shall ensure that, of the workers hired for the project (including workers hired for related maintenance, service, or operations activities for the project), the applicable percentage described in paragraph
(2)are hired through local hiring, in partnership with a registered apprenticeship program, if applicable, or with a State workforce development board or local workforce development board, if applicable. The applicable percentage referred to in paragraph
(1)is— for fiscal year 2020, 10 percent; for fiscal year 2021, 20 percent; for fiscal year 2022, 30 percent; for fiscal year 2023, 40 percent; and for fiscal year 2024 and each fiscal year thereafter, 50 percent. In carrying out subsection (b), the head of the relevant Federal agency shall ensure that the entity carrying out the project gives priority to— individuals with a barrier to employment (as defined in section 3 of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act ( 29 U.S.C. 3102 )), including ex-offenders and disabled individuals (as defined in section 121); veterans (as defined in section 121); and individuals that represent populations that are traditionally underrepresented in the infrastructure workforce, such as women and racial and ethnic minorities. Not less frequently than annually, the Secretary of Labor, in consultation with the heads of the relevant Federal agencies, shall— submit to Congress a report on the implementation of this section; and make the report under subparagraph (A), including any related data, publicly available on the internet. Not later than 5 years after the date of enactment of this Act, the Comptroller General of the United States shall— carry out a review of the implementation of this section to determine compliance with this section; and submit to Congress a report on the results of the review under subparagraph (A), including any suggestions or recommendations for legislative, regulatory, or other changes to improve the implementation of this section or compliance with this section.
