New Jersey S3175 removes apprenticeship program requirements for public work contractors and sets apprenticeship standards for prevailing wage.

New Jersey S3175 revises the "Public Works Contractor Registration Act" by eliminating the mandatory participation in a registered apprenticeship program for contractors to be eligible for public works projects. The bill sets standards for apprenticeship programs if contractors choose to participate. Contractors must ensure their apprenticeship programs meet industry standards for on-the-job training and related instruction. The commissioner can deny, revoke, or suspend a contractor's registration if their apprenticeship program does not meet federal standards.
