The bill, briefly
Voice for Farm Workers Act This bill reauthorizes and expands the duties of the Farmworker Coordinator at the Department of Agriculture (USDA). (Part of the Office of Partnerships and Public Engagement, the coordinator identifies challenges faced by farmworkers and coordinates with USDA programs and other federal agencies to address the community’s needs.) The bill reauthorizes the position of Farmworker Coordinator through FY2031. Among other things, the bill also requires the coordinator to develop and implement a plan to coordinate USDA farmworker outreach activities and services, collaborate with USDA's agencies and offices on farmworker-related programmatic and policy decisions, communicate to employers of farmworkers information about federal programs for which their employees may be eligible, and measure and analyze the outcomes of USDA farmworker programs and activities. Further, the bill expands the coordinator's existing duties to include (1) serving as a liaison to institutions of higher education and local educational agencies, and (2) consulting with community-based nonprofit organizations on areas such as technical skills and job training programs. The bill also directs the coordinator to hire the staff who are necessary to carry out the coordinator's activities.
