 HAS COMPLETED AN APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAM PURSUANT TO ARTICLE TWENTY-THREE
 OF THE LABOR LAW.
   2. THE AUTHORITY IS PROHIBITED FROM REQUIRING  ADDITIONAL  COURSES  OR

 WHICH  SUCH  INDIVIDUAL HAS COMPLETED AN APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAM PURSUANT
 TO ARTICLE TWENTY-THREE OF THE LABOR LAW.
   3. FOR THE PURPOSES OF THIS SECTION, THE PHRASE "SUBSTANTIALLY  WITHIN
 THE TRADE OR AREA" SHALL MEAN WITHIN THE SCOPE OF WORK AS DEFINED BY THE
