Bill Summary
This bill reconciles certain provisions of P.L.2009, c.313 (C.52:38-7) and P.L.2009, c.335 (C.52:40-1 et seq.). Specifically, the bill modifies the language used in section 6 of P.L.2009, c.335 (C.52:40-6) to describe the use of 0.5% of construction project funds set aside for women and minority group members to make it conform to P.L.2009, c.313 by expanding the funded activities to include outreach as well as training, and to include not only construction trade occupations, but other occupations in the construction industry, such as management and engineering. The bill also modifies the scope of projects subject to the 0.5% set-aside under P.L.2009, c.335, to make it conform with the requirements of P.L.2009, c.313 that the set-aside apply to local, as well as State, projects.
AI Summary
This bill reconciles and expands the language in two existing laws (P.L.2009, c.313 and P.L.2009, c.335) related to outreach and training programs for minorities and women in the construction industry. Specifically, it modifies the language to:
1) Expand the funded activities to include outreach as well as training, and to include not only construction trade occupations, but other occupations in the construction industry, such as management and engineering.
2) Align the scope of projects subject to the 0.5% set-aside requirement, so it applies to both state and local public works projects.
The bill also requires more detailed reporting on the performance and outcomes of the funded programs, to be made publicly available.
