Bill > HB05322

This bill proposes to modify section 20-332b of the general statutes to establish a new hiring ratio in the skilled trades, specifically mandating that for every licensed professional (licensee) in a skilled trade, one apprentice can be hired. This means that businesses in skilled trade industries would be required to maintain a 1:1 ratio between licensed workers and apprentices, potentially impacting how these businesses recruit, train, and staff their workforce. The bill aims to potentially create more opportunities for apprentices to gain hands-on experience and professional training while working alongside licensed professionals, though the precise implications for different types of skilled trades are not detailed in the provided text. By standardizing the hiring ratio across skilled trades, the legislation seeks to create a uniform approach to workforce development and apprenticeship programs.
