CONSTRUCTION-SANITARY REQS
Summary
Amends the Construction Site Temporary Restroom Facility Act. Changes the Act's short title to the Construction Site Temporary Restroom Facility and Sanitary Conditions for Menstruation and Lactation Act. Repeals a provision which specifies that separate toileting facilities are not required for males and females if individual portable toilet facilities are used by an owner of a portable building or building under construction to provide access to a restroom. Provides that, if a woman or an individual who menstruates is present on a work site and there are 10 or more workers of any gender at the work site, then a separate toilet facility shall be provided at the work site and designated for use by women and individuals who menstruate. Requires employers in the construction industry to provide their workers who menstruate and are performing construction activities on a work site with minimum sanitary conditions. Describes the required minimum sanitary conditions. Requires employers in the construction industry, upon request, to provide their workers who are lactating and performing construction activities on a work site with reasonable accommodations needed to express breast milk. Describes reasonable accommodations for lactation. Provides that, on or before January 1, 2027, the Department of Public Health shall provide guidance to employers on the accommodations to be provided. Authorizes employees of construction sites to call the certified local public health agency with jurisdiction over a construction site to request an inspection if noncompliance with the Act is suspected. Prohibits retaliation by employers if a call is made by an employee on a construction site for suspected noncompliance with the Act. Provides that any owner who fails or refuses to comply with the provisions of the Act commits a petty offense and is subject to a fine to be determined by the certified local public health agency (rather than only being subject to a petty offense). Defines "employer". Effective immediately.

MODERATE
The bill was finalized as an Enrolled version, incorporating minor formatting adjustments and clarifying the effective date. The most significant substantive change is the addition of a new definition for 'menstrual hygiene products,' which expands the bill's scope to explicitly include tampons and sanitary napkins under the legislation's protections.
Scope change
The bill's scope was expanded by adding a specific definition for 'menstrual hygiene products,' ensuring these items are covered under the act's provisions regarding support for menstruating and lactating individuals.
DEFINITION
Added a new definition for 'menstrual hygiene products' to explicitly include tampons and sanitary napkins.
TIMELINE
Changed the effective date trigger from 'after the Department of Public Health adopts rules' to 'after the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 104th General Assembly'.
TECHNICAL
Adjusted spacing and punctuation in the definition of 'construction industry' and the list of government entities included as employers.
Refined the signage requirement language in Section 10(b)(2) to specify that signage must 'identify the class of individuals' rather than listing specific inclusive language examples.
