Personal Protective Equipment & Meatpackers

Summary

The bill adds a clear definition of personal protective equipment and lists items that are not considered PPE. It prohibits employers from deducting the cost of PPE from workers' wages and creates a new rule that meat‑packing firms with 500 or more employees must allow employees to use restrooms during paid time, with fines for non‑compliance. The measures aim to improve workplace safety and protect basic worker rights.
