On page 32, after line 5 of the striking amendment, insert the following:

"NEW SECTION. Sec. 17. (1) When a local government performs a public works project with local government employees, rather than following the public works contracting process, no less than fifteen percent of the labor hours must be performed by apprentices.

(2) Local governments performing a public works project with local government employees must pay local government employees a prevailing wage, in the same manner the prevailing wage requirements apply to private sector contractors that would perform similar work under the public works contracting process in RCW 39.12.015.

(3) The public works written reports required under subsection (1) of this section must include the local government entities subject to the following statutes: RCW 28A.335.190, 28B.10.029, 28B.10.350, 28B.50.330, 35.21.225, 35.21.730, 35.22.620, 35.23.352, 35.57.020, 35.61.135, 35A.40.210, 36.100.030, 36.32.235, 36.32.240, 36.32.245, 36.32.250, 52.14.110, 53.08.120, 53.08.135, 54.04.070, 54.04.082, 57.08.050, 70.44.140, 71.24.300, 74.38.050, 87.03.435, 87.03.436, 87.03.437, and 89.30.154 and chapters 17.28, 27.12, 28A.310, 35.82, 36.57, 36.57A, 36.69, 36.73, 39.04, 39.34, 48.62, 70.46, 85.38, and 89.08 RCW.

(4) For purposes of this section, "local government" refers to all counties, cities, towns, other political subdivisions, and special purpose districts."
