"Our goal is to create a construction industry that puts the safety of workers and the quality of projects above all else," said Governor Doe. "These new regulations are a step in the right direction towards achieving that goal."Construction industry leaders have generally expressed support for the new regulations, noting that they will help to create a more level playing field for companies and ensure that projects are completed to high standards.
