Review - HR 4389 Introduced - New Collar Jobs Act

Last month, Rep Lieu (D,CA) introduced HR 4389, the New Collar Jobs Act of 2021. The bill would provide employer incentives to provide cybersecurity training to employees and would provide federal loan forgiveness to certain individuals student loans. No monies are authorized by this bill.

Neither Lieu, nor his three cosponsors are members of any of the four committees to which this bill was assigned for consideration. This means that the bill is unlikely to be considered in any of the committees. I see nothing in this bill that would engender any organized opposition and I suspect that if it were considered that it would receive at least some level of bipartisan support.
