New Jersey A3480 mandates training and outreach programs for minorities and women in the construction industry.

New Jersey A3480 amends existing laws to ensure that 0.5% of funds from public works contracts exceeding $1,000,000 are used for on-the-job or off-the-job training programs for minorities and women in construction trades. The bill requires the Division of Public Contracts Equal Employment Opportunity Compliance to monitor whether public bodies and political subdivisions properly allocate and use these funds. The Department of Labor and Workforce Development must provide annual reports detailing the use of these funds and the outcomes for participants.
