Bill > S2110

This bill proposes to amend Chapter 6 of the Massachusetts General Laws by adding a new section that requires the governor to annually proclaim the last week of April as "Building Trades Recovery Week." The purpose of this week is to support the Buildings Trades Employers Association in raising awareness about substance misuse, particularly opioids, among workers in the construction industry. During this designated week, the association would be encouraged to organize events and discussions aimed at addressing the opioid epidemic and promoting mental health specifically within the building construction sector. This legislation recognizes the unique challenges faced by construction workers and seeks to provide a formal platform for addressing substance abuse and mental health issues in this workforce.
