The State Apprenticeship and Training Fund (Fund) law provides that contractors and certain
subcontractors performing work on certain public work contracts are required to make contributions toward apprenticeship.
See §17-601 through 17-606, State Finance and Procurement, Annotated Code of Maryland. Contractors and subcontractors
have three options where they can choose to make their contributions: (1) participate in a registered apprenticeship training
program; (2) contribute to an organization that has a registered apprenticeship training program; or (3) contribute to the
State Apprenticeship and Training Fund.
IMPORTANT: Please note that the obligations under this law will become effective on JULY 1, 2013. This law will require that
contractors and certain subcontractors make contributions toward apprenticeship and report those contributions on their certified payroll records
that they submit pursuant to the prevailing wage law.
The Department is offering outreach seminars to any interested parties including contractors, trade associations, and
any other stakeholders. Please contact the Department at prevailingwage@dllr.state.md.us
or (410) 767-2968 for seminar times and locations. In addition, information regarding this law will be provided at pre-construction meetings
for projects covered by the Prevailing Wage law.
