To amend the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act to define the term evidence-based.

HR 2058 amends the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) to formally define "evidence-based" for workforce programs. It specifies that an activity, service, or strategy must demonstrate statistical proof of effectiveness through rigorous studies (like controlled experiments or well-designed evaluations) or show a strong research rationale with ongoing evaluation efforts. This definition directly affects states and local workforce boards receiving WIOA funds, requiring them to describe how they prioritize evidence-based programs in their funding applications. The bill updates WIOA sections to include this definition and mandates states to detail their evidence-based program funding strategies in grant proposals.
