Bill to expand public works contracts, apprenticeship requirements

Contact: Carl Schroeder, Maggie Douglas

HB 1308, sponsored by Rep. Marcus Riccelli (D–Spokane), expands apprenticeship requirements for city public works contracts and subcontracts.

Currently, all public works projects estimated to cost more than $1 million must require at least 15% of labor hours to be performed by apprentices but does not require subcontractors to meet this standard. This bill expands apprenticeship requirements to include subcontractors, requiring all projects over $200,000 to have at least 15% of labor hours to be performed by apprentices.

 

Dates to remember


HB 1308 is scheduled for public hearing in the House Capital Budget Committee on February 2 at 1:30 pm.
