What this law says, in plain English

The state department must conduct annual surveys of apprentice agreement participants by ethnicity and gender, using available federal data and cooperating with the Division of Apprenticeship Standards. Survey data alone cannot prove unlawful employment practices, and the statute does not authorize quota requirements.

(c) Data gathered pursuant to this section shall not be evidence per se of an unlawful employment practice. (d) This section shall not be construed to authorize a state agency to require an employer to employ a specified percentage of individuals of any particular ethnic derivation or gender irrespective of those individuals’ qualifications for employment.
