AN ACT ESTABLISHING A SINGLE SKILLED-TRADE HIRING RATIO.

HB 6484 would require Connecticut skilled-trade employers (such as contractors in construction or plumbing) to hire at least one apprentice for every licensed worker they employ. This would establish a mandatory 1:1 ratio between apprentices and licensed tradespeople in the state. The bill directly affects businesses in skilled trades by changing their hiring requirements under Connecticut law. It does not alter existing licensing standards but mandates a specific hiring structure for apprenticeship programs.
