Modifies provisions relating to workforce requirements for public works projects

Summary

The bill changes how public‑works contractors pay and staff apprentices and entry‑level workers. It requires apprentice wages to be half the journeyman rate, caps the combined number of apprentices and entry‑level workers at one per journeyman in each trade, and mandates that any contract of $150,000 or more include at least one federally registered apprentice. The goal is to promote on‑the‑job training while protecting wage standards.
