From the meeting
At its June 5, 2026 meeting, CSLB supported AB 1980, which would codify the Equal Representation in Construction Apprenticeship Grants Program (ERiCA). The program already existed and used General Fund money to support pre-apprenticeship and apprenticeship access for women and other underrepresented groups. Staff said the bill would formalize the program in statute and clarify eligibility and application rules.
Grant administrators and workforce vendors should watch the 2027 budgeting and implementation steps.
