SB145

This bill creates new workplace safety requirements for meat and poultry processing facilities with at least 100 workers, requiring them to establish committees to develop and implement worker safety programs. It also establishes a meatpacking industry worker rights coordinator position to oversee these protections and defines which businesses must comply (slaughterhouses, processing plants, and egg production facilities, but not grocery stores or restaurants). The law expands the definition of "worker" to include temporary workers and contractors, ensuring broader safety protections across the processing facility workforce.
