State Preemption of the Regulation of Hoisting Equipment

HB 6009 removes a state law that previously prevented local governments from regulating certain hoisting equipment, such as cranes or lifts used in construction. This bill restores local authority (cities or counties) to create their own safety rules for this equipment, rather than having state regulations apply exclusively. It directly affects local governments, construction businesses, and safety inspectors who would now have the option to implement localized standards.
