   Amend the amendment, H-1365, to Senate File 510, as amended, passed, and reprinted by the Senate, as follows:
   1.  Page 31, before line 32 by inserting: 

<DIVISION ___
HIGH QUALITY JOBS PROGRAM
   Sec. ___.  Section 15.329, subsection 1, Code 2015, is amended by adding the following new paragraph:
   NEW PARAGRAPH.  h.  (1)  If the total incentives or assistance provided to the business under this part will exceed five million dollars and if the business will incur construction costs in excess of one million dollars for a project that involves the construction or equipping of a facility of the business, the following requirements shall be satisfied:
   (a)  The contractors and subcontractors who work on the project of the business shall comply with all applicable Iowa laws and rules.
   (b)  The contractors and subcontractors who work on the project of the business shall operate or participate in an apprenticeship program for all applicable apprenticeable occupations. For purposes of this subparagraph division, “apprenticeship program” and “apprenticeable occupations” mean the same as defined in section 15B.2.
   (2)  If it is determined that any provision of this paragraph would cause the denial of funds from the United States government which would otherwise be available to an agency of this state or to the business, the provisions of this paragraph shall, insofar as the funds are jeopardized, be deemed to be inoperative.
   (3)  If any provision of this paragraph or the application thereof is held invalid, the invalidity shall not affect other provisions or applications of this paragraph, this part, or an agreement entered into under this part that can be given effect without the invalid provision or application, and to this end, the provisions of this paragraph are severable.
   Sec. ___.  APPLICABILITY.  This division of this Act applies to businesses that receive an award of incentives or assistance under the high quality jobs program on or after July 1, 2015, and businesses that received an award of incentives or assistance under the high quality jobs program before July 1, 2015, shall be governed by section 15.329, subsection 1, Code 2015.>
   2.  By renumbering as necessary.
