AN ACT ESTABLISHING A SINGLE SKILLED TRADE APPRENTICESHIP HIRING RATIO.

SB 155 would amend state law to require skilled trade employers with licenses to hire apprentices at a fixed ratio of one apprentice for every licensed worker. This applies directly to businesses in licensed trades like plumbing, electrical work, or carpentry that hold state licenses. The bill establishes a single, mandatory hiring ratio (1:1) instead of allowing flexible or varying apprentice-to-licensee ratios under current rules.
