Requires the Secretary, where a worker is presumed eligible for assistance, to: (1) initiate outreach to the industry to gather information on the number and geographic location of workers in that industry who are likely to be certified eligible for assistance; (2) work with the State to develop an expedited process to accept applications from workers in that industry; (3) process each application for certification within a specified time after receiving the application or after enactment of this Act, whichever is later; and (4) deny an application for certification only if there is clear and compelling evidence that a worker was laid off or a plant was closed as a result of causes other than the ITC's affirmative determination for that industry.
Read twice and referred to the Committee on Finance.
