The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 145, aims to amend chapter 393 of the general statutes to establish a specific apprenticeship ratio for noncommercial projects. The bill introduces new legal language that mandates a ratio of one apprentice to one occupational licensee, ensuring that for every licensed professional working on a noncommercial project, there is an apprentice receiving training and experience.
This legislative change is intended to enhance apprenticeship opportunities and support workforce development in noncommercial sectors. By formalizing this ratio, the bill seeks to promote a structured learning environment for apprentices while also ensuring that licensed professionals are available to provide guidance and oversight.
