Bill > SB00224

This bill aims to streamline the process for apprenticeship ratio relief applications by requiring the Connecticut Labor Department to act on such applications within ten business days of submission. If the department does not take action within that timeframe, the application will be automatically considered approved. Apprenticeship ratio relief typically refers to a process where employers can request a modification to the standard ratio of apprentices to journeymen workers in a trade or craft. Additionally, the bill mandates that the Labor Department provide quarterly reports to the General Assembly's joint standing committees on labor and public employees, detailing any applications for apprenticeship ratio relief that were denied. The goal is to expedite the application process and increase transparency around apprenticeship ratio relief decisions, potentially making it easier for businesses to manage their workforce training and development.
