National Construction Safety Team Enhancement Act of 2024

The National Construction Safety Team Enhancement Act of 2024 updates the National Construction Safety Team Act by replacing "building" with "structure" or "the built environment" throughout the law. This broadens the scope of investigations to include all structures (such as bridges and towers) and adjusts related terms like "building standards" to "engineering standards, practices, and building codes." The bill also requires the National Construction Safety Team to defer to other federal agencies when they are already investigating a structural failure. These changes clarify the team's jurisdiction and improve coordination with other agencies without creating new investigative powers.
