summary

This amendment requires that the statement regarding equal opportunity required in an apprenticeship agreement specify that an apprentice cannot be discriminated against because of gender identity. It also specifies an apprentice cannot be discriminated against because of age but does not specify, like the bill, that age discrimination is only applicable if the apprentice is 40 years of age or older.
