Bill > HB1067

This bill amends the existing law on wages for journeypersons in high-hazard facilities. The key provisions are as follows: 1. It defines "skilled journeyperson" as a worker who has either graduated from an approved apprenticeship program or has the equivalent on-the-job experience, and is being paid a rate consistent with the prevailing wage rate for that occupation and geographic area. 2. It removes the previous requirement that the worker be paid at a rate commensurate with the wages typically paid in the applicable occupation and geographic area, and the provisions related to using prevailing wage rates on public works projects. 3. The bill provides an effective date of January 1, 2025.
