America’s Blood Centers (ABC) joined the Tomorrow’s Workforce Coalition supporting Congressional workforce legislation, the “Freedom to Invest in Tomorrow’s Workforce Act (S. 722 and H.R. 1477).” The coalition includes more than 500 trade associations, professional societies, businesses, and employers and is being led by the American Society of Association Executives (ASAE) and Professional Certification Coalition (PCC) in support of Congressional workforce legislation. According to an ASAE news release, the “bipartisan, bicameral ‘Freedom to Invest in Tomorrow’s Workforce Act’ would expand qualified expenses under 529 savings plans to include postsecondary training and credentialing, such as licenses and professional certifications. The bill would provide valuable tax-advantaged resources for families, students, and workers — with or without a college degree—who pursue career growth, mid-career changes or pathways that diverge from a typical academic route.”
