This bill modernizes and improves the Statewide Longitudinal Data Systems (SLDS) program to encourage connected insights across early childhood, K-12 education, and the workforce. The RESULTS Act will better equip states to understand and respond to potential education and workforce shifts caused by AI and other emerging technologies.\n\n“Artificial intelligence is a tool—not a replacement for the American worker. Whether it’s in a doctor’s office, on a farm, or in manufacturing, AI can help people work smarter and more efficiently. But if you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it,” Senator Marshall said. “The RESULTS Act gives states better tools to understand how our workforce is changing so we can prepare students for the jobs of tomorrow and keep America’s workforce the strongest and most competitive.”\n\n“AI presents never-before-seen opportunities for education, and our economy. However, we need access to high-quality data to ensure we’re making the best decisions for our communities. Right now, that data is decentralized, making it hard to access, and harder to interpret,” said Senator Blunt Rochester. “I’m proud to introduce the RESULTS Act alongside Senator Marshall to empower states to build better data systems that will connect education and employment outcomes, making information more accessible to our communities as emerging technologies change the world we live, learn, and work in.”\n\nThe RESULTS Act would:\n\nModernize the SLDS program to incentivize highly connected state data systems that incorporate early childhood, elementary and secondary education, higher education, workforce and labor market data.\n\nStreamline state funding by starting to consolidate the SLDS program and the parallel Workforce Data Quality Initiative (WDQI) at the Department of Labor.\n\nExpand eligibility of SLDS to include a state’s governor as well as a state agency or data governance entity designated by the governor.\n\nImprove access to the National Directory of New Hires, a detailed and underutilized source of wage and employment data for directed use to support statutorily required education and workforce performance reporting.\n\nThe RESULTS Act is endorsed by the Advance CTE, Alliance for Learning Innovation, America Forward, Association for Career and Technical Education, Bipartisan Policy Center Action, Credential Engine, Data Quality Campaign, Jobs for the Future, LISC-Kansas City, National Skills Coalition, Results for America, and Rodel.\n\nClick here to read the full text of the legislation.\n\n###","url":"https://www.marshall.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/senator-marshall-introduces-bill-to-modernize-workforce-data/","published_at":"2026-07-30","ai_topics":["jobs","research","innovation"],"ai_stance":"neutral","ai_summary":"Marshall frames AI as a tool that augments workers and pushes for modernized state data systems to track AI-driven education and workforce shifts, without endorsing AI regulation.","ai_processed":true,"bill_ids":[],"ai_relevance_score":null,"bill_refs":[],"classifier":null},{"id":"e1604514256f55e4","politician_id":"M001198","type":"press_release","content":"Washington – U.S. Senator Roger Marshall, M.D. (R-Kansas) today applauded President Donald J. Trump for expanding the Ratepayer Protection Pledge, a landmark initiative ensuring that the nation’s largest technology companies—not hardworking American families—pay the cost of the electricity and grid infrastructure needed to power new AI data centers.\n\nEarlier this year, Senator Marshall joined Senator Rick Scott (R-Fla.) in introducing a Senate concurrent resolution expressing that the Ratepayer Protection Pledge would protect households, small businesses, schools, hospitals, and farms from subsidizing the electricity and grid infrastructure needed for new AI data centers. The resolution also encouraged additional AI companies and data center operators to adopt the pledge—an effort advanced by today’s announcement.\n\n“The Ratepayer Protection Pledge Resolution affirms a basic idea: that Kansans shouldn’t have to pay higher utility bills so that big tech companies can power their data centers,” said Senator Marshall. “I’ve heard from Kansans who are concerned that infrastructure costs for data centers could be pushed onto households, small businesses, schools, hospitals, and farms across the state. Kansans work hard for their money, and they should not need to worry that their utility rates will rise thanks to the growth of data centers.”\n\nPresident Trump’s Expanded Ratepayer Protection Pledge:\n\nProtects American families from higher utility bills by ensuring the cost of powering new AI data centers is paid by the companies building them—not households, farms, schools, hospitals, or small businesses.\n\nNow covers approximately 80% of the electricity delivered to American homes and businesses, following the addition of nearly 200 new utilities, developers, state governments, and other stakeholders.\n\nRequires participating companies to negotiate separate rate structures with utilities and state governments and pay for the power generation and grid infrastructure needed to support their data centers, whether they ultimately use that electricity or not.\n\nStrengthens grid reliability by encouraging participating companies to coordinate with grid operators and make backup generation resources available during emergencies to help prevent blackouts and power shortages.\n\nCreates jobs and invests in local communities by encouraging AI companies and hyperscalers to hire and train workers where they build and operate data centers.\n\nSupports America’s AI leadership by enabling the rapid buildout of the infrastructure needed to compete with China while ensuring the costs of that expansion are not shifted onto American consumers.\n\nAdvances President Trump’s America First energy agenda by expanding domestic energy infrastructure, promoting private-sector investment, protecting ratepayers, and keeping electricity affordable for hardworking American families.\n\n###","url":"https://www.marshall.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/senator-marshall-applauds-president-trump-for-expanding-ratepayer-protection-pledge/","published_at":"2026-07-24","ai_topics":["data_centers","innovation","national_security","jobs"],"ai_stance":"mixed","ai_summary":"Marshall applauds Trump's expanded Ratepayer Protection Pledge requiring AI companies, not families, to pay for data center power costs, while supporting rapid AI infrastructure buildout to compete with China.","ai_processed":true,"bill_ids":[],"ai_relevance_score":null,"bill_refs":[],"classifier":null},{"id":"e0e67d085d2ced05","politician_id":"M001198","type":"press_release","content":"Senator Marshall At Semafor’s World of Work Event with Burgess Everett\n\nWashington – U.S. Senator Roger Marshall, M.D. (R-Kansas), joined Burgess Everett at Semafor’sWorld of Work event to discuss his Patients Deserve Price Tags Act and lowering the cost of health care for Americans, AI use in health care, how AI will affect the workforce, the federal government’s place in AI and data center legislation, and more.\n\nClick HERE to download the full video.\n\nOn current Senate priorities and the Patients Deserve Price Tags Act:\n\n“You know, I think number one, the election is starting to wear heavy on our shoulders. Like I feel like I should be back — I’m up this year so I feel like I should be back in Kansas. And at the same time, I’m already focused on: can we keep the government open? That would probably be the big long-term goal here — September 30th. But then today we have our price tags bill. Patients deserve price tags, not surprise billing; it forces transparency and competition into healthcare. This is why I came to D.C., was to do this bill. This is a concept I had 15 years ago, I’ve been in Congress now nine years, and this is one of the big three reasons I came. And we’re going to get it through committee today.”\n\n“Oh, I think it’s going to pass the committee, or we wouldn’t be on it. We’ve got lots of co-sponsors on both sides of the aisle; it is a bipartisan issue. This will bring down the cost of healthcare by $1,000 a month, is what we’re expecting for an average family. There’s no other bill out there, there’s nothing out there that would bring down the cost of living more than this bill would. The President’s very motivated, I think that we’re all in Congress motivated, so I think it has a real chance of getting to the finish line.”\n\n“That MRI, you know, it might be $600 here, and it might be $3,000 here for the same quality. You know, I ran a hospital along with my doctor’s practice, oversaw health departments — I’ve seen healthcare inside and out, and this is the great boogeyman. Why do you have to wait? You still won’t know what the price is till three months from now.”\n\nOn AI use in health care:\n\n“Right. So, I think the big picture to me — my theme — would be ‘human in the loop.’ You want to be the human in the loop of AI. Even today, I use AI two or three hours a day and on Saturdays, I’ll spend four or six hours researching something. You know, preparing for this meeting. So, what does AI mean to other people besides me? So, the fact-finding part of this — usually we had leg staff working on the fact-finding. So, I’m constantly working ahead and trying to get that fact-finding part out of this, and once I find the facts, then I can jump to the future. So, for the doctor, I think it’s going to help us with the medical records; it’s going to help the data entry portion of this — interpreting the data, making sure we’re not missing something. Really, for the most part in medicine, AI is really machine learning. So, reading Pap smears, reading mammograms. If you show AI what we’re looking for in a mammogram — so pull out all the ones that look like this, this, and this. But you still need a human in the loop to say, ‘Okay, of these 10, this is the one that needs biopsied.’”\n\n“So, speaking of legislation — our prior authorization bill, which we think will get across the finish line this year as well. Again, something I’ve worked eight years on to streamline prior authorization. So, AI will be used, but I think it can be used to an advantage. I think that if AI looks at…let’s say that I need to replace someone’s hip. If Medicare Advantage needs to say, ‘Here’s the boxes the doctor needs to check.’ The nurses do that for us of course; we send it to the company, AI looks at that, and then great. And if one of the boxes is missed, AI kicks it out and then automatically emails my nurse and says, ‘Why didn’t you do physical therapy for three months?’ or whatever it is. So, I think it can expedite it.
