MODERATE

The bill was amended to broaden its scope by adding a second sponsor and expanding the list of protected employees. Originally, the law only covered specific job titles like 'housing inspector' and 'elevator inspector.' The amendment now protects a wider range of roles, including technical, investigative, and social service/community titles, as well as labor compliance officers.
