Modifies provisions relating to workforce requirements for public works projects

HB 3506 modifies workforce rules for public works projects over $150,000. It requires contractors to pay on-the-job training workers 50% of a journeyman's wage rate and limits entry-level workers plus apprentices to a 1:1 ratio with journeyman workers per job title. The bill also mandates that all qualifying projects include at least one federally registered apprentice performing work under the contract. These changes directly affect contractors bidding on public construction projects and aim to increase apprenticeship opportunities while standardizing wage structures.
