AI Summary
This bill, the Maryland Workforce Apprenticeship Utilization Act, alters the apprenticeship requirements for public works contracts. It requires certain contractors and subcontractors to employ a specified percentage of qualified apprentices or journeyworkers on covered projects valued at $250,000 or more. The applicable percentage is set at 25% initially, with the Secretary empowered to adjust it annually.
