IA SF2169

Defines new terms in Iowa apprenticeship law including "employer partner" (an employer who trains employees through an intermediary sponsor) and "intermediary sponsor" (an entity providing related training instruction to apprentices for multiple employers)

Grants intermediary sponsors sole discretion for approving employer partners, provided those partners comply with the intermediary sponsor's standards

Prohibits the Iowa Office of Apprenticeship from canceling, suspending, or deregistering an intermediary sponsor based solely on the actions of the intermediary's employer partners

Requires the office to provide at least 60 days notice with comprehensive grounds before canceling or suspending an employer partner, and at least 90 days notice before taking action against an apprenticeship sponsor, intermediary sponsor, or lead apprenticeship sponsor

Places the burden of proof on the Office of Apprenticeship to demonstrate material breach of chapter requirements when seeking judicial review of cancellation, suspension, or deregistration decisions
