South Dakota creates a new state office of apprenticeship within the Department of Labor and Regulation to oversee and approve apprenticeship programs in the state. The bill establishes definitions and standards for apprenticeships, apprentices, and apprenticeship agreements that align with federal regulations, covering jobs that involve structured on-the-job training combined with related instruction. This new office will manage the registration and approval of apprenticeship programs across various industries.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
This amendment is a technical formatting change that converts the bill from its introduced version to its enrolled (final passed) version, updating internal document reference numbers and removing introductory procedural language. The substantive content of the apprenticeship office establishment remains unchanged.
