A bill for an act relating to workforce matters including apprenticeships and other career training, unemployment insurance, and membership of the state workforce development board, making appropriations, and including effective date provisions.

Removed the original bill text formatting (line-by-line legislative markup) and replaced it with the official signed version, including the Governor's signature block and the Secretary of State's transmittal letter.

Added the official signature page with Governor Kim Reynolds' signature and the date June 02, 2026, confirming the bill has become law.

Converted the text from a vertical, line-by-line legislative markup format into a standard, readable paragraph format while preserving all original policy language.

Added new definitions for 'employer partner' and 'intermediary sponsor' to clarify roles in multi-employer apprenticeship programs.

Changed the compliance timeline for program cancellation from 60 days to 90 days for sponsors and intermediaries.

Clarified responsibilities by stating sponsors manage classroom training while employers manage on-the-job training when an intermediary is involved.

Adjusted the calculation for job training withholding credits, changing the credit amount from 25% of quarterly withholding to a specific dollar amount based on total withholding.

Added specific requirements for the office to provide written reasons for cancellation decisions and to prove violations occurred within the compliance period.

Removed the Governor's signature block, date (June 02, 2026), and handwritten artifacts that were present in the draft version.

Adjusted page headers and footers to reflect the final 'Enrolled' status and corrected page numbering.

Standardized the text formatting to remove inconsistent spacing and punctuation marks found in the draft version.

New definitions were added for 'apprenticeship sponsor,' 'employer partner,' and 'intermediary sponsor' to formalize the roles within the apprenticeship system.

New requirements were established for the cancellation or suspension of apprenticeship programs, including mandatory notice periods and opportunities for compliance before deregistration.

Appeal procedures for unemployment benefit determinations were updated to include options for telephone or in-person hearings and clarified the timeline for final decisions.

Specific deadlines were set for employers to appeal unemployment benefit charges and for the department to notify employers of contribution rates.
