AN ACT relating to welding safety.

Summary

The law creates new requirements that any structural steel welding done on commercial projects must be performed by welders tested and certified by an AWS‑accredited facility or individual, and the work must meet AWS D1.1 and D1.5 standards. It applies to general contractors, project managers, and subcontractors when the project specifications reference those standards, but not to homeowner or farmer projects. The measure aims to improve safety and quality of welded structures.
