AN ACT CONCERNING APPLICATIONS FOR APPRENTICESHIP RATIO RELIEF.

This bill requires Connecticut's Labor Department to act on apprenticeship ratio relief applications within 10 business days. If the department fails to act within that timeframe, applications are automatically approved. It also mandates quarterly reports to legislative committees detailing denied applications. The bill directly affects businesses and training programs seeking to adjust their apprentice-to-journeyworker ratios, aiming to expedite the approval process.
