Amends existing law to provide for the hiring of employees under approved apprenticeship programs.
The purpose of this legislation is to allow for flexibility and clarification within established temporary employment practices. Currently, temporary employees are limited to working 1,385 hours in a 12-month period.

Language will be added in 67-5302 to waive the 1,385-hour limit for employees hired specifically as apprentices under an approved apprenticeship program.

he purpose of this legislation is to provide public school districts with the authority to collect development impact fees.
