For legislation relative to public safety in hoisting regulations. Public Safety and Homeland Security.

AI Summary

This bill amends the General Laws of Massachusetts to provide an exception to the existing public safety regulations for hoisting operations. Specifically, it states that the restrictions in subsection (e) of Section 53 of Chapter 146 shall not apply to a public utility company or other company during an employee strike or lockout, except during a period of a declared emergency by the governor. This change aims to allow these companies to continue their hoisting operations, even in the absence of their regular workforce, in order to maintain essential services during labor disputes.
