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
