Key changes include updating references to the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) for defining agricultural and construction operations, clarifying the definition of an "authorized employee representative," and aligning penalties for violations with federal equivalents. The bill also streamlines administrative processes by consolidating responsibilities within the Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity, updating procedures for hazard communication standards, and refining rules for variances, inspections, and enforcement actions. Additionally, it repeals a specific section related to asbestos violations, indicating a shift in how such cases will be handled under the updated act.
