On page 1, line 3 of the title, after "adding" strike "a new section" and insert "new sections"
EFFECT: An infraction occurs if, on a single job site, a contractor works on a task that is performed together by more than two sole proprietor contractors or more than one contractor other than a sole proprietor, when at least one of the contractors has no covered workers. If the contractors are working together in the same trade or craft, the contractors have the burden of proof to show that they are not working together on the same task. A "job site" is a single physical address, or multiple addresses if the addresses are covered by the same general contract. The violation is committed by all contractors who are parties to the contract for the performance of that task.
