I have introduced a bill (2023 -- S 0660) that would ensure safe glazing in public works in Rhode Island (glazing is the process of installing glass in a building's fixed openings, such as windows and doors). Last year the General Assembly passed a bill ensuring that glazing work on public projects would be done by certified professionals at the highest quality. This bill clarifies that question by giving the Department of Labor the authority to enforce these provisions and ensure taxpayers are getting quality work for their money. We have a lot of construction coming up in the next few years across Rhode Island, including here on Aquidneck Island. It’s important to make sure that this work is done to the highest standards when using public dollars. Click to learn more.
