The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 5046, seeks to amend section 20-332 of the general statutes regarding the hiring ratio for certain skilled trades. The bill introduces new legal language that establishes a job site hiring ratio of one licensee to one registered apprentice. This change aims to enhance the workforce by ensuring that skilled trades are supported by a sufficient number of apprentices, thereby fostering a well-trained workforce to address the increasing demands for resiliency, efficiency, and infrastructure.

The bill does not specify any deletions from the current law, focusing solely on the insertion of the new hiring ratio. By implementing this ratio, the legislation intends to promote the development of skilled labor in the trades, ultimately contributing to the overall improvement of the workforce in Connecticut.
