AI Summary

This bill exempts contractors that provide fire and burglary alarm installation services or locksmith services from the requirement to participate in a registered apprenticeship program under "The Public Works Contractor Registration Act." Currently, all contractors are required to participate in a registered apprenticeship program to be eligible for public works contracts. However, contractors providing fire/alarm installation and locksmith services have not established such apprenticeship programs, and their educational and licensing requirements are provided for under other laws. The bill allows these specific contractors to register as public works contractors without participating in a registered apprenticeship program.
