Relating to asbestos abatement
HB 5624 amends West Virginia's asbestos abatement regulations by updating key definitions, including terms like "asbestos," "asbestos abatement project," and "asbestos contractor." The bill repeals section §16-32-9c and revises sections §16-32-2, §16-32-11, and §16-32-15 to modernize the regulatory framework. This directly affects asbestos contractors, workers, inspectors, and management planners who handle asbestos-containing materials. The provided text does not detail additional specific requirements beyond the revised definitions, as the bill focuses on clarifying terminology for compliance.
