Expands hoisting examination opportunities for foreign language speakers in Massachusetts.

This bill amends Chapter 146 of the General Laws to expand hoisting examination opportunities for foreign language speakers. It requires the division of occupational licensure to offer both written and practical examinations in English, Portuguese, Spanish, and any other languages deemed appropriate. This change aims to accommodate hoisting machinery applicants who meet the licensure criteria established by the commissioner.
