H 2669 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act expanding hoisting examination opportunities for foreign language speakers

HD 2376 requires the Division of Occupational Licensure to offer written and practical examinations for hoisting machinery licenses in English, Portuguese, Spanish, and other languages the division deems appropriate. This directly affects applicants seeking hoisting machinery licenses who meet the commissioner's established criteria under section 53A(g). The bill mandates that the division make these language options available without altering the existing licensure standards. It focuses on improving accessibility for non-English speaking applicants in a specific occupational field.
