Overview
This bill aims to increase opportunities for minorities and women in the construction industry by requiring state and local governments to allocate a small percentage of funds from public works contracts to outreach and training programs. Specifically, it mandates that a portion of contract funds (0.5%) be transferred to the Department of Labor and Workforce Development for programs designed to prepare minority group members and women for construction jobs, including apprenticeships and related education. The bill also updates reporting requirements to track the use of these funds and their impact on workforce diversity.
