An Act establishing Building Trades Recovery Week

This bill establishes Building Trades Recovery Week, a designated period each year to raise awareness about opioid and substance misuse issues within the construction industry. Sponsored by legislators Nick Collins and Rodney M. Elliott, the measure directs the governor to issue an annual proclamation setting aside the last week of April for this observance. During this week, the Buildings Trades Employers Association is tasked with organizing events and discussions to promote mental health and combat the opioid epidemic among construction workers. The legislation focuses on creating a formal framework for addressing substance abuse in the building trades rather than implementing specific regulatory changes or funding allocations.
