	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 607, as amended, Bates. Certified electricians: skilled
journeyperson.
   Existing law requires the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement
to maintain minimum standards for the competency and training of
electricians through a system of testing and certification.
   Existing law also sets forth requirements for the use of a skilled
and trained workforce of all workers that are either skilled
journeypersons or registered apprentices to perform specified work on
state agency design-build projects, local agency design-build
projects, and at certain stationary sources posing a regulated
substances accident risk.
   This bill would deem  an   a general 
electrician certified pursuant to those standards a skilled
journeyperson for purposes of any law.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 108.6 is added to the Labor Code, to read:
   108.6.  Notwithstanding any other law,  an  
a general  electrician certified pursuant to this chapter shall
be deemed a skilled journeyperson for purposes of any law.
