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 stipulates that the hiring ratio on job sites will be adjusted to one licensee for every one registered apprentice, thereby establishing a clear framework for workforce development in skilled trades.

The purpose of this amendment is to enhance the training and availability of skilled workers, addressing the increasing demand for a resilient and efficient workforce in infrastructure-related fields. By implementing this hiring ratio, the bill aims to foster a stronger and more capable labor force that can meet contemporary challenges in various industries.
