MODERATE

This bill revision expands the apprenticeship incentive program to require not just the main contractor but also their subcontractors to participate in state-registered apprenticeship programs. The change ensures that the entire construction workforce benefits from the apprenticeship requirement, rather than just the prime contractor. This broader approach aims to create a more consistent supply of skilled labor across all levels of public works projects.

Scope change

The bill now applies to subcontractors in addition to the primary bidder, requiring both to participate in registered apprenticeship programs for all apprenticeable trades used on the project.

REQUIREMENT

Expanded apprenticeship participation requirement to include subcontractors, not just the primary bidder

Changed proof of apprenticeship participation to cover both the bidder and their subcontractors for all apprenticeable trades

ENFORCEMENT

Updated sanctions to apply to both the bidder and their subcontractors if apprenticeship requirements are not met

SCOPE

Added requirement that subcontractors must be parties to registered apprenticeship agreements for all apprenticeable trades utilized on the project
