State Procurement - Worker Residency Requirements

Summary

The bill mandates that contractors on designated state procurement projects ensure at least 35% of apprenticeship work is performed by Maryland residents. The Department of Labor will enforce the rule, and contractors who fall short face a penalty equal to twice the apprenticeship hours at a set payment rate, with the money placed in a state apprenticeship fund. It also expands debarment provisions for firms and individuals with serious legal violations or repeated breaches of the residency requirement.
