Apprenticeship programs: approval process.

Summary

The bill requires the Division of Apprenticeship Standards to verify that a new apprenticeship application is complete within 30 days and to issue a final decision within one year. If a decision isn’t made after six months, the program can operate conditionally if it meets federal approval, employer and education partner requirements, and other conditions. It excludes building‑construction and firefighter apprenticeships and does not require local reimbursement.
