814 - Local, regional and state joint apprenticeship committees.

  814.  Local,  regional  and  state joint apprenticeship committees.
  Local and state joint apprenticeship committees may be approved, in  any
  trade  or  group  of  trades,  in  cities, regions of the state or trade
  areas, by the industrial commissioner, whenever the apprentice  training
  needs  of  such  trade  or  group of trades or such regions justify such
  establishment.  Such  local,  regional  or  state  joint  apprenticeship
  committees shall be composed of an equal number of employer and employee
  representatives  chosen  from names submitted by the respective local or
  state employer and employee organizations in  such  trade  or  group  of
  trades;  also  such  additional  members  representing  local  boards of
  education or other educational agencies as may be deemed advisable.   In
  a  trade  or  group of trades in which there is no bona fide employer or
  employee organization, the joint committee shall be composed of  persons
  known   to  represent  the  interests  of  employers  and  of  employees
  respectively or a state joint apprenticeship committee may  be  approved
  as,  or  the  state  apprenticeship council may act itself as, the joint
  committee in such trade or group of trades. Subject to the review of the
  industrial commissioner and in accordance with the standards established
  by the industrial commissioner, such committees may devise standards for
  apprenticeship agreements and give such aid as may be necessary in their
  operation, in their respective trades and localities.
