SB 1065: Public works: apprenticeship.
What SB 1065 does, verified April 9, 2026
This bill aims to simplify apprenticeship requirements for contractors on public works projects. It would allow apprentices to perform tasks and duties of a journeyperson in their registered craft or trade, as long as it aligns with the scope of work. The bill also changes the definition of "apprenticeable craft or trade" to be determined by the director of industrial relations, rather than a specific ratio. This change would provide more flexibility and clarity for contractors and apprentices. The bill does not alter the requirement for contractors to pay prevailing per diem wages to apprentices.
