AI Summary
This bill requires the California Department of Industrial Relations to establish the California Public Infrastructure Task Force, a diverse group composed of representatives from various state agencies, unions, contractors, and nonprofit organizations. The task force will focus on promoting employment opportunities for underrepresented communities in public infrastructure projects. Specifically, the task force will conduct regular meetings to recommend strategies for recruiting from underrepresented communities, remove employment barriers, conduct outreach to contractors and subcontractors, provide compliance assistance regarding nondiscrimination obligations, and evaluate contractors' efforts to recruit and utilize talent from underrepresented communities. The bill aims to advance workforce diversity and inclusion in public infrastructure projects by creating a collaborative mechanism to identify and address employment challenges faced by underrepresented groups.
