Public contracts: skilled and trained workforce.
Summary
Existing law defines a "skilled and trained workforce" to mean a workforce that meets certain conditions for when a public entity is required by statute or regulation to obtain an enforceable commitment that a bidder, contractor, or other entity will use a skilled and trained workforce to complete a contract or project. Existing law also authorizes a public entity to require that a bidder, contractor, or other entity use a skilled and trained workforce to complete a contract or project. This bill would revise the definition of a "skilled and trained workforce" to exclude from the conditions work performed on or after specified dates, in certain occupations.
