Plain-language change summary

The updated version of Bill HB 2107 has revised the language to clarify the specific activities covered under the safety inspection requirements, changing the reference from "residential building" to a broader category of "construction of buildings." Additionally, the bill maintains the same timeline for notifying employers of identified hazards and for the department's reporting to the legislature. These changes aim to improve workplace safety oversight while ensuring that employers are promptly informed of potential dangers.
