Freedom to Invest in Tomorrow’s Workforce Act
This bill expands the expenses eligible for tax-free withdrawals from a qualified tuition program (known as a 529 plan) to include tuition, fees (including test fees), books, supplies, equipment, and other expenses related to the enrollment or attendance in a recognized postsecondary credentialing program.
Under the bill, a recognized postsecondary credentialing program includes certain programs identified by a state as providing training services, a program listed in the Web Enabled Approval Management System (WEAMS) maintained by the Department of Veterans Affairs, certain examinations required to obtain or maintain a credential, and other reputable credentialing programs.
Further, under the bill, such programs must be designed for an individual to obtain
an industry-recognized postsecondary employment credential (e.g., project management professional certificate, advanced emergency medical technician certificate, and welding supervisor certificate),
a certificate of completion of a registered and certified apprenticeship,
an occupational or professional license issued or recognized by a state or the federal government (and any certification required for obtaining such license), or
an associate or baccalaureate degree.

Ideology is each member’s score. The cluster low on the chart includes the bill’s 200 sponsor and cosponsors in the House: they have already committed, so they score as entrenched. 2 representatives without a DW-NOMINATE score or with insufficient data are not plotted.
Similar votes count toward swing-v3 in the House: total similarity weight 6.5 (needs 5.0).
