Mississippi Workplace Safety Act; enact.

SB 2770, the Mississippi Workplace Safety Act, restricts workplace safety inspectors (from OSHA or other authorities) from allowing nonemployee representatives (like union officials or outside experts) to accompany them during inspections unless specific conditions are met, such as the representative having relevant industry expertise or language skills. Employers must receive written credentials of any such representative before an inspection begins, and they are not required to pay for these representatives or allow them without a warrant. The bill enables employers to seek court orders to stop violations, claim damages for infringements, and imposes a $10,000 civil penalty for government inspectors who knowingly violate the law. It also bars government from using sovereign immunity as a defense in related lawsuits and ensures that if part of the law is deemed unconstitutional, the remaining provisions stay in effect.
