Skills-Based Hiring Act streamlines occupational licensing for skilled jobs and expands apprenticeship programs.

The Skills-Based Hiring Act aims to remove barriers to employment by simplifying the occupational licensing process for individuals with out-of-state licenses and expanding apprenticeship opportunities. It allows for the recognition of licenses from other states, reducing the need for additional exams and paperwork. The Act also promotes apprenticeship programs as an alternative to traditional occupational licenses, providing pathways to full-time employment in state government.
