Bill > SB00155

This bill proposes to modify section 20-332b of the general statutes to establish a single skilled trade apprenticeship hiring ratio of one apprentice to one licensee. In practical terms, this means that for every licensed professional in a skilled trade (such as an electrician, plumber, or contractor), the business would be allowed to hire one apprentice. The current ratio of apprentices to licensed professionals is not specified in the provided text, but this bill aims to create a standardized, balanced approach to workforce development in skilled trades. By setting a uniform 1:1 ratio, the legislation intends to provide consistent opportunities for apprentices to gain on-the-job training and experience while ensuring that businesses have a clear, predictable guideline for hiring and training new workers in their industry.
