AI Summary

This bill proposes to add a new section to Chapter 6 of Massachusetts General Laws that requires the governor to issue an annual proclamation designating the last full week in 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 opioid addiction, among construction industry workers. By creating this designated week, the bill aims to facilitate discussions and events that address the opioid epidemic and promote mental health specifically within the building construction industry. This initiative recognizes the unique challenges faced by construction workers, who may be at higher risk for substance abuse due to the physical demands and potential workplace injuries associated with their profession.
