The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 6786, seeks to amend section 20-332b of the general statutes to establish a specific hiring ratio for skilled trades. The bill stipulates that the hiring ratio should be set at one apprentice for every one licensee. This change aims to ensure that apprentices receive adequate training and mentorship from licensed professionals in the skilled trades.

The bill does not indicate any deletions from the current law but introduces new legal language to formalize the one-to-one hiring ratio. This legislative change is intended to enhance the training and development of apprentices in skilled trades, thereby improving workforce readiness and competency in these essential fields.
