    Minn. Stat. 178.02
    1939 Minn. Laws Chap. 363

    Apprenticeship Advisory Board
    History:

    Created in 1939 as the Apprenticeship Council. In 1974 it was made purely advisory and was stripped of the power to confirm the appointment of the director of the apprenticeship programs. In 1979 the assistant commissioner of education for vocational education or a designee was specified as the ex officio member of the council.

    In 2007, the Legislature changed the Apprenticeship Advisory Council's name to Apprenticeship Board (see Laws of Minnesota 2007, chapter 135, article 7, section 2). 
    Membership:

    8 members (3 representing employee organizations, 3 representing employer organizations, 2 representing general public; plus assistant commissioner of education for vocational education or designee, ex officio, in advisory capacity); terms governed by Minn. Stat. 15.059; compensation governed by Minn. Stat. 15.059.
