MINOR
The bill was amended to add more sponsors and committee history, clarifying that it was discharged from committee, amended, and recommitted. The core policy change modifies how renewable energy systems must use apprenticeship agreements by reorganizing the language to first address covered renewable energy systems generally, then specifically address thermal energy networks with additional requirements.
Scope change
The bill's scope remains focused on contractors and subcontractors performing construction work for covered renewable energy systems, but the structure now explicitly separates general requirements from additional thermal energy network requirements.
REQUIREMENT

Reorganized the language to first establish general apprenticeship requirements for all covered renewable energy systems, then add specific requirements for thermal energy networks.

DEFINITION

Removed the bracketed term 'thermal energy network' from the main definition and restructured to make it a separate, additional requirement rather than part of the general definition.

TECHNICAL

Added multiple sponsors to the bill introduction and included committee discharge and amendment history.
