HB 2235 Pennsylvania House · 2023-2024 Regular Session

An Act providing for regulation of the meat packing and food processing industry by creating facility health and safety committees in the workplace; establishing the industry workers' rights coordinator within the Department of Labor and Industry; and imposing penalties.

This bill amends existing legislation to update the structure and numbering of regulations within the meat packing and food processing industry. It modifies specific sections to create facility health and safety committees, establish an industry workers' rights coordinator, and adjust penalty provisions. The text also revises emergency medical transportation requirements and reorganizes the bill's internal sections for clarity. These changes aim to refine how workplace safety is managed and enforced in food processing facilities without altering the core intent of the original act.
