                                ___________
 
 Introduced  by  COMMITTEE  ON RULES -- (at request of M. of A. Rozic) --
   read once and referred to the Committee on Economic Development
 
 AN ACT to amend the economic development law  and  the  New  York  state
   urban  development  corporation  act, in relation to enacting the good
   jobs guarantee program
 
   THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
 
   Section  1.  The  economic  development law is amended by adding a new
 article 28 to read as follows:
 
                                ARTICLE 28
                        GOOD JOBS GUARANTEE PROGRAM
 
 SECTION 500. SHORT TITLE.
         501. LEGISLATIVE FINDINGS.
         502. GOOD JOBS GUARANTEE PROGRAM.
         503. DEFINITIONS.
         504. PROGRAM ADMINISTRATION.
   § 500. SHORT TITLE. THIS ARTICLE SHALL BE KNOWN AND MAY  BE  CITED  AS
 THE "GOOD JOBS GUARANTEE PROGRAM ACT".
   § 501. LEGISLATIVE FINDINGS. FOR MANY NEW YORKERS, THERE ARE FEW PATH-
 WAYS TO GOOD JOBS, AND ECONOMIC MOBILITY IS NO LONGER ATTAINABLE. TRADI-
 TIONAL  PATHS  ARE FAILING, AND THE SYSTEM IS BROKEN. OVER 76% OF AMERI-
 CANS, WHICH EQUATES TO 218+ MILLION ADULTS, DO NOT HAVE COLLEGE  DEGREES
 EVEN  THOUGH  MOST  HIGH-PAYING  JOBS REQUIRE ONE. AT THE SAME TIME, THE
 UNITED STATES IS BURDENED BY A $1.7 TRILLION STUDENT LOAN CRISIS BECAUSE
 COLLEGE FINANCING HAS DECOUPLED FROM OUTCOMES. THE SYSTEM IS  ESPECIALLY
 STACKED  AGAINST LOW-INCOME INDIVIDUALS AND PEOPLE OF COLOR. IN NEW YORK
 STATE, THIS PROBLEM PERSISTS: 60% OF ADULTS LACK  A  4-YEAR  DEGREE  AND
 DEGREE HOLDERS OWE $90 BILLION IN LOANS. COLLEGE IS NOT THE ONLY PATH TO
 A  GOOD  JOB  -  ALTERNATIVES  FOR WORKFORCE TRAINING EXIST. WHILE THESE
 MODELS HAVE HIGH POTENTIAL, LIMITED FUNDING AND FRAMEWORKS PREVENT  THEM
 FROM CONFRONTING THIS CHALLENGE AND NEW MODELS ARE NEEDED TO ADDRESS THE
 SCALE.
