A bill for an act relating to apprenticeships.

This bill (SSB 3072) updates Iowa's apprenticeship laws to clarify roles and support training programs. It defines key terms like "intermediary sponsor" (an organization training apprentices for multiple employers) and "partner employer" (an employer using an intermediary). The bill protects intermediaries from being penalized for their partner employers' actions but requires them to address partner breaches. It also establishes that apprenticeship programs receiving state financial aid must provide at least 100 contact hours of training per apprentice annually. These changes directly affect apprenticeship programs, intermediaries, and employers participating in registered apprenticeship training in Iowa.
