The Public Workers Bill
Cities would have to give public workers official ID cards
Public Works Employee Identification Cards
Mixed: some good, some bad ·
This bill would require local governments to give official ID cards to their public works employees so people can easily recognize them.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
This is a simple safety and housekeeping bill. It makes sure that public works employees have official ID cards. This helps residents feel safe by knowing exactly who is working in their neighborhoods or on their streets. It does not take away any rights or make big changes to the law.
