The bill addresses the specific safety and health needs of construction workers who menstruate or express milk, aiming to improve sanitary conditions in the construction industry. It mandates the adoption of rules by the director to ensure that employers provide adequate facilities and accommodations for these workers. Key provisions include the requirement for accessible bathrooms with privacy features, adequate time for bathroom use, and the availability of menstrual hygiene products at no cost. Additionally, the bill outlines reasonable accommodations for milk expression, such as flexible scheduling, private locations for expression, hygienic refrigeration, and access to clean water.

Furthermore, the bill stipulates that on multi-employer worksites, each employer is responsible for providing necessary facilities for their own workers. It also includes a grace period during which no monetary penalties will be imposed for violations of the new rules, allowing time for compliance. The department is tasked with conducting educational outreach to inform construction employers about the new rights and responsibilities established by this legislation.
