   On page 4, after line 20, insert the following:

   "Sec. 4. RCW 49.04.030 and 2001 c 204 s 2 are each amended to read as follows:

   Subject to the confirmation of the state apprenticeship council by a majority vote, the director of labor and industries shall appoint and deputize an assistant director to be known as the supervisor of apprenticeship. Under the supervision of the director of labor and industries and with the advice and guidance of the apprenticeship council, the supervisor shall: (1) Encourage and promote apprenticeship programs conforming to the standards established under this chapter, and in harmony with the policies of the United States department of labor; (2) act as secretary of the apprenticeship council and of state apprenticeship committees; (3) when authorized by the apprenticeship council, register apprenticeship agreements that are in the best interests of increasing the opportunities for training available to the apprentice and conform with standards established under this chapter; (4) keep a record of apprenticeship agreements and upon successful completion issue certificates of completion of apprenticeship; and (5) terminate or cancel any apprenticeship agreements in accordance with the provisions of the agreements.

   The supervisor may act to bring about the settlement of differences arising out of the apprenticeship agreement where such differences cannot be adjusted locally. The director of labor and industries is authorized to appoint such other personnel as may be necessary to aid the supervisor of apprenticeship in the execution of the supervisor's functions under this chapter."

   Correct the title.

EFFECT: Changes the text of current law so that the supervisor of the apprenticeship council must register agreements that are in the best interests of increasing the opportunities for training available to the apprentice instead of the best interests of the apprentice.
