Bill > HB06484

This bill proposes to amend section 20-332b of the general statutes to establish a standardized skilled-trade hiring ratio, specifically requiring that for every licensed professional (licensee) in a skilled trade, one apprentice can be hired. This means that trades would now have a consistent 1:1 ratio of apprentices to licensed professionals, which could potentially help address workforce development needs by creating more opportunities for apprentices to gain practical experience while working alongside experienced professionals. The bill appears to be a straightforward modification of existing employment regulations in the skilled trades sector, aiming to create a uniform and predictable apprenticeship hiring framework across different trades. By setting a single, clear ratio, the legislation seeks to simplify hiring practices and potentially increase apprenticeship opportunities in various skilled trade industries.
