About This Bill
Committee
Latest Action · May 16, 2024
Referred to the House Committee on Education and the Workforce.
This joint resolution uses a congressional disapproval process to reject an Occupational Safety and Health Administration rule issued on April 1, 2024, that established a new process for designating worker walkaround representatives during workplace safety inspections. The rule would have allowed workers to more easily select representatives to accompany OSHA inspectors during worksite walkarounds, which are inspections used to identify safety hazards. If passed, this resolution would cancel the rule and prevent it from taking effect. The resolution was introduced by Representative Miller of Illinois and 24 other House members, primarily Republicans. No specific funding or implementation timeline is mentioned in the text, as the resolution's sole purpose is to block an existing regulation rather than authorize new spending or programs.
