AN ACT relating to occupational safety and health.
HB 803 repeals Kentucky Revised Statute 338.062, which previously set occupational safety standards capped at federal levels and exempted public employees from certain state regulations. This bill directly affects how Kentucky enforces workplace safety rules, removing the federal cap on state standards and ending the specific exemption for public employees. The repeal is procedural, with no new standards or mechanisms added - only the removal of the existing statutory language. The bill is currently in committee review after its February 2025 introduction.
