Chapter 23 of the General Laws, as appearing in the 2006 Official Edition, is hereby amended by striking out section 11W and inserting in place thereof the following section:-
Section 11W. �(a)� The deputy director shall require each apprentice entering into a written agreement pursuant to this chapter, and whose occupation would require the payment of the prevailing wage pursuant to sections 26 and 27 of chapter 149 on a public works project, to submit an application to the division for an annual apprentice identification card.� Said apprentice application shall be accompanied by a fee paid by the apprentice or the program sponsor, together with photographic prints as required by the deputy director. �Said identification card shall expire one year from the date of issue.� Each such apprentice who desires to continue in an apprentice program after the expiration of the apprentice identification card may do so only after submitting a new application to the division for an updated apprentice identification card.
(b)� The deputy director shall require each sponsor of an apprentice, whose occupation would require the payment of the prevailing wage pursuant to sections 26 and 27 of chapter 149 on a public works project, to pay an annual fee.
(c)� All other apprentices and sponsors shall pay a one time fee at the time of registration. �Such an apprentice shall receive a non photo identification card unless otherwise required by law.
(d)� All apprentice identification cards shall contain:� the apprentice registration number or such other number as the deputy director requires; the name and business address of the appropriate apprenticeship committee or single employer sponsor; the steps of progression and related dates applicable to the apprentice; the date on which the apprentice identification card expires; and the projected date on which the apprentice is projected to complete the apprenticeship. �As a condition of apprenticeship, the apprentice shall keep the apprentice identification card on his person during all hours of employment during the apprenticeship.
(e)� The deputy director shall charge the fees necessary for the establishment and maintenance of the identification card system and for the processing of sponsor applications.� No identification card fee shall be charged to any veteran receiving GI Bill benefits through registered apprenticeship programs.
(f)� All identification card fee funds pursuant to this section shall be received by the state treasurer on behalf of the commonwealth and deposited in a special trust account for the division and may be expended, without further appropriation, under the direction of the deputy director.
