Revises provisions governing public works. (BDR 28-112)

AB 305-82 requires contractors and subcontractors working on public works projects in Nevada to ensure a minimum percentage of apprentice labor hours are performed by women. Specifically, for vertical construction (where 10% of labor must be apprentices), at least 2% of those hours must be women; for horizontal construction (3% apprentice requirement), at least 1% must be women. The State Apprenticeship Council must review programs lacking sufficient women apprentices to help contractors comply. This applies to new contracts after January 1, 2024, but excludes contracts with bids submitted before that date. The bill affects public works contractors and aims to increase women's participation in construction apprenticeships.
