Bill 66 expands the definition of 'non-construction employers' to include which of the following?

• A. Private manufacturing companies
• B. Public libraries
• C. International NGOs
• D. Municipalities

Answer: (D)

Expanding a defined category in a statute shows how lawmakers can widen who is covered by a rule. By adding municipalities to the term “non-construction employers,” the bill makes local government workplaces subject to the same rules and protections that apply to other non-construction employers. This ensures consistent standards across both private employers and local governments, so municipal employers aren’t left out of the regime. The other options don’t fit because the expansion targets a local government employer group. Private manufacturing firms, public libraries, and international NGOs aren’t the category the bill names for this broadening, whereas municipalities are.
