Bill Summary
AN ACT RELATING TO PUBLIC WORKS; REQUIRING CONTRIBUTIONS TO APPRENTICE AND TRAINING PROGRAMS OR TO THE PUBLIC WORKS APPRENTICE AND TRAINING FUND FOR PUBLIC WORKS CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS; PROVIDING AN EXCEPTION.
AI Summary
This bill requires employers working on public works construction projects in New Mexico to contribute to approved apprentice and training programs or to a state-administered fund, unless the craft or trade involved is not recognized as apprenticeable by federal or state apprenticeship authorities. The Public Works Apprentice and Training Act, which is administered by the workforce solutions department, will collect these contributions, verify compliance through payroll reports, investigate violations, and impose penalties. This change aims to ensure that training contributions are made for most public works projects, with an exception for trades that do not have established apprenticeship programs.
