Bill > SB00226

This bill proposes changes to existing apprentice hiring regulations for licensed firms in Connecticut. Specifically, the bill modifies section 20-332b of the general statutes to remove apprentice hiring ratio requirements for smaller businesses with fewer than 20 licensed professionals, while establishing a new ratio of one apprentice per licensed professional for firms with 20 or more licensees. The purpose of these changes is to support workforce development by providing more flexibility for smaller firms in hiring and training apprentices, while maintaining a structured approach for larger organizations. By reducing barriers to apprenticeship opportunities, the bill aims to help businesses more easily integrate and train new workers, potentially addressing workforce needs and creating pathways for professional development across various industries.
