Adds provisions amending the Illinois Works Jobs Program Act. Provides that contractors or subcontractors may be eligible to earn bid credits under the Illinois Works Bid Credit Program for apprentices who have completed the Climate Works Preapprenticeship Program or the Highway Construction Careers Training Program.
