Relative to women in carpentry.

HR 17 is a California Assembly resolution recognizing the success of the B.O.O.T.S. program (Bridging Outstanding Opportunities with Tradeswomen Skills), a four-week preapprenticeship initiative for women interested in carpentry. The resolution highlights the program's 74% graduation rate and its role in preparing women for union carpentry careers, noting 74% of graduates are hired by signatory contractors. It does not create new laws or provide funding, but formally acknowledges the program's contribution to increasing women's participation in the trades. The resolution was unanimously adopted by the Assembly on March 24, 2025.
