Bill > SR84

This resolution, SR 84, proclaims the week of March 1, 2026, to March 7, 2026, as Women in Construction Week in California, urging the Governor to issue a proclamation encouraging observation with appropriate programs and educational activities. The resolution highlights the importance of women's full participation in the construction industry to ensure economic progress and competitiveness, noting that women are currently underrepresented in apprenticeships and various construction roles. It acknowledges past legislative efforts to make construction job sites safer and more welcoming for women, with a goal of increasing their representation, and emphasizes that apprenticeships are a crucial pathway for women to secure well-paying careers, especially given the rising costs of higher education. The resolution also points out that women-owned businesses can benefit the entire workforce and that gender diversity in construction is linked to improved performance and innovation, recognizing women as an untapped resource vital for closing the skills gap and building the middle class.
