Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a) The California Apprenticeship Council
					 ("Council") may adopt state-wide minimum industry training criteria adopted by
					 a particular industry training committee established pursuant to the provisions
					 of this section, unless the particular committee cannot establish such criteria
					 by its deadline as provided under this section, in which case the CAC may
					 otherwise determine state-wide minimum industry training criteria to be
					 utilized in accordance with the provisions of this section.
(b) The following procedures shall be
					 followed when initially establishing the minimum industry training criteria:
(1) A committee shall be established by the
					 Chair of the Council for each apprenticeable construction-industry craft or
					 trade, and may be established by the Chair of the Council for any
					 apprenticeable non-construction industry craft or trade. The Chair shall
					 appoint a minimum of eight (8) members in the following categories: two
					 signatory employer representatives, two non signatory employer representatives,
					 two signatory employee representatives, and two non signatory employee
					 representatives. The term of each member shall be three years. The Chair may
					 appoint additional members in the same proportion. The Chair shall appoint
					 members from among candidates supplied by the sponsors of apprenticeship
					 programs approved or proposed for approval under the Shelley-Maloney Apprentice
					 Labor Standards Act of 1939, Chapter 4 (commencing with Section
					 3070) of Division 3 of the Labor
					 Code ("Shelley-Maloney Act") in the particular craft or trade. The Chair shall
					 notify all programs approved or proposed for approval under the Shelley-Maloney
					 Act in the particular craft or trade of the Chair's intent to form such
					 committee or appoint committee members at least 45 days before making such
					 appointments, and must provide such programs with a period of at least 30 days
					 within which to submit candidates to the Chair. Where programs do not supply
					 sufficient candidates in the categories required to the Chair within the period
					 provided or where there are no programs to supply candidates, the Chair may
					 select individuals working in the particular craft or trade to complete the
					 committee. The Chair shall endeavor to appoint members from all segments of the
					 industry.
(2) Committee action
					 shall require a two-thirds majority vote of the members in attendance at a duly
					 constituted meeting. For the purpose of this section, a duly constituted
					 meeting shall mean that a quorum consisting of a majority of the entire
					 committee is in attendance.
(3) The
					 committee shall meet as often as necessary at the call of its chair. The chair
					 of the committee shall be appointed annually by the Chair of the Council. The
					 chair of the committee shall rotate between signatory and non signatory
					 representatives.
(4) The committee
					 shall establish the state-wide minimum industry training criteria for the trade
					 or craft for which it was established, the content of which shall encompass all
					 the requirements of Section
					 212 of these regulations and the
					 following topics in addition thereto: length of training, related classroom
					 instruction, types of work processes and the skills to be learned, on-the-job
					 training, competency testing, and apprenticeship program completion
					 percentages. The criteria for the barbering, cosmetology, skin care and nail
					 care trades shall be consistent with the standards for licensure in these
					 trades required by the State Board of Barbering and Cosmetology.
(5) The committee shall formulate the
					 state-wide minimum industry training criteria for the applicable trade or craft
					 no later than twelve months from the date of its first meeting, unless extended
					 by the Council. The Council shall endeavor to complete its review of the
					 criteria by the second regularly scheduled meeting of the Council following the
					 submission. If the Council does not approve the criteria, the submission shall
					 be promptly returned to the committee with the Council's written reasons and a
					 new deadline for resubmission to the Council.
