Library of Congress Summary

The summary below was written by the Congressional Research Service, which is a nonpartisan division of the Library of Congress.

5/9/2011--Introduced.
Urban Jobs Act of 2011 - Amends the Workforce Investment Act of 1998 to authorize the Secretary of Labor to make competitive grants to national private nonprofit community-based organizations to carry out Urban Jobs Programs to provide job training, education, and support services and activities for eligible urban youth to provide them with a pathway to employment, or education leading to employment.
Defines "eligible youth" as individuals ages 18 to 24 who:
(1) are not enrolled in secondary or post-secondary school, or
(2) are or have been subject to the criminal justice process.
Directs the Secretary to establish a National Jobs Council Advisory Committee. Expresses the sense of Congress that:
(1) community-based affiliates should establish local jobs council advisory committees to aid in establishing local community support for local implementation of the program; and
(2) at least one-third of the members of the committee should be employers in high-impact, high-growth industries in the locality.

No summary available.

House Democratic Caucus Summary

The House Democratic Caucus does not provide summaries of bills.

So, yes, we display the House Republican Conference’s summaries when available even if we do not have a Democratic summary available. That’s because we feel it is better to give you as much information as possible, even if we cannot provide every viewpoint.

We’ll be looking for a source of summaries from the other side in the meanwhile.

United States Code

The United States Code is the compilation of permanent laws enacted by Congress. Temporary and other non-permanent laws do not appear in the United States Code. (About half of the United States Code is the law itself, called positive law. The other half is merely a compilation of the laws but has no legal significance.)
