SB322

Louisiana SB322 amends apprenticeship laws to define Louisiana Youth Apprentices and set eligibility criteria.

Louisiana SB322 amends existing apprenticeship laws to define "Louisiana Youth Apprentice" as a worker aged 24 or younger who has entered into a written apprentice agreement. This agreement must include at least 375 hours of reasonably continuous employment and participation in an approved training program. The training must result in a high school diploma or equivalent, an advanced industry-based credential, certificate of technical studies, or a more advanced credential. This bill aims to provide structured apprenticeship opportunities for young workers.
