An Act To Establish The Interdisciplinary Advisory Board For The State House Complex
LD 1776 establishes the Interdisciplinary Advisory Board for the State House Complex to ensure occupational health and safety for legislators, legislative and executive branch staff, and the public within the State House and Burton M. Cross Building. The Board, composed of 13 appointed members representing fields like occupational health, historic preservation, and legislative staff, will meet quarterly to advise on health and safety matters and streamline communication between the Legislative Council and state agencies. It must create a public online system for submitting health and safety concerns (included in new employee orientation) and submit an annual report by December 3. This bill defines the Board's structure, duties, and reporting requirements without altering existing health and safety laws.
