AB222

Nevada AB222 revises public works regulations, emphasizing apprenticeship and employment preferences for public construction projects.

Nevada AB222 amends existing law to enhance regulations on public works, focusing on apprenticeship and employment preferences. It mandates contractors and subcontractors to prioritize employing apprentices and individuals from specific groups, including women, veterans, and residents of historically underserved communities. The bill requires contractors to report annually on apprenticeship usage and efforts to meet these preferences. It also authorizes the Labor Commissioner to impose penalties for non-compliance, including fines and disqualification from future contracts.
