Public Works Contracts - Apprenticeship Requirements (Maryland Workforce Apprenticeship Utilization Act)

Summary

The bill changes Maryland’s public‑works rules so that contractors and subcontractors on projects worth $500,000 or more must have a specific percentage of labor hours performed by qualified apprentices or journeyworkers. The percentage is set each year by the Secretary of Labor, who can also grant waivers. It also extends these rules to the University System of Maryland and Baltimore City Community College while eliminating the option to pay a fee instead of hiring apprentices.
