Labor: health and safety; requirements for proposed administrative rule; modify. Amends sec. 14 of 1974 PA 154 (MCL 408.1014).

SB 622 requires Michigan to adopt federal OSHA standards within 10 working days of their federal adoption, replacing the previous requirement for state rulemaking. It also mandates that state officials justify new Michigan safety rules when federal standards don't cover specific workplace issues, including demonstrating industry-specific needs or broad consensus among employers and workers. The bill directly affects Michigan's Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs, which must process these rules, and impacts employers and workers across all regulated industries. These changes streamline alignment with federal standards while adding transparency requirements for state rule development.
