relative to requiring the department of labor review and adopt workers' occupational safety requirements that are similar to OSHA standards.

HB 303 would require the state Department of Labor to review and adopt workplace safety standards that align with federal OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) rules. This bill would directly affect workers and employers across the state by establishing new safety requirements for workplaces. The key mechanism involves the Department of Labor conducting a formal review to adopt standards similar to existing federal OSHA protections. The bill is currently under committee study and has not yet become law.
