Plain-language change summary

The latest version of Bill SB 59 has added the definition of "site of the project," which now includes the concept of off-site fabrication. This change is significant because it clarifies that work being done away from the main construction site, but still related to the overall project, is subject to the same regulations. This ensures fair labor practices are maintained for workers regardless of where the work is taking place, contributing to better protections under the Public Works Minimum Wage Act.
