Revises provisions relating to public works. (BDR 28-675)

AB 222 establishes a priority order for hiring workers and apprentices on Nevada public works projects. It requires contractors in vertical construction (e.g., buildings) to employ workers meeting this priority for at least 10% of labor hours, and contractors in horizontal construction (e.g., roads) for 3% of hours. The priority order lists: women citizens, veterans, residents of historically underserved communities, rural residents, formerly incarcerated people, and those under 26. Contractors must document compliance, submit annual reports to the Labor Commissioner, and face fines up to $1,000 for violations.
