Labor Code sections relating to apprenticeship were affected in 1984 following legislative approval of Senate Bill 1605. (See Exhibit #1d) This bill was introduced on February 7, 1984 by Edward R. Royce at the request of the California Apprenticeship Council and the Department of Industrial Relations. (See Exhibits #1a; #3, page 1; and #11, document PE-6)

Senate Bill 1605 was assigned to the Senate Committee on Industrial Relations and the Assembly Committee on Employment where policy issues raised by the bill were considered. (See Exhibits #3 and #8) The fiscal ramifications of the bill were considered by the Assembly Committee on Ways and Means. (See Exhibit #10) Two amendments were made to Senate Bill 1605. (See Exhibit #1b, #1c and #2) Subsequent to legislative approval, former Governor George Deukmejian signed Senate Bill 1605 on July 10, 1984 and it was recorded by the Secretary of State on the same day as Chapter 330 of the Statutes of 1984. (See Exhibits #1d and #2)

The Legislative Analyst analysis of Senate Bill 1605 as last amended indicated that the bill made “various changes in the definitions and functions of sponsors of apprenticeship programs,” explaining specifically the following:

This bill:

• Extends the definition of apprenticeship program sponsor to unilateral management or labor apprenticeship committees and individual employers, and

• Deletes the requirement that the OAS audit selection and disciplinary proceedings of the program sponsors.
