HB956

Hawaii HB956 establishes regulations for ironworkers and iron projects, including apprenticeship requirements and penalties for violations.

Hawaii HB956 amends the Hawaii Revised Statutes by adding a new chapter on ironworkers. It defines "ironworker" as someone who cuts, builds, welds, and places structural steel and iron on various projects and has completed an apprenticeship program. "Iron project" includes structures like buildings, bridges, and solar farms. The bill prohibits disassembling, dismantling, or demolishing iron projects without completing an apprenticeship program. Violators face fines up to $500 or imprisonment up to one year, or both. Contractors hiring violators face fines up to $1,000.
