A bill to amend 1974 PA 154, entitled “Michigan occupational safety and health act,” by amending sections 14 and 19 (MCL 408.1014 and 408.1019), section 14 as amended by 2020 PA 143 and section 19 as amended by 2012 PA 448.
This bill aims to adopt occupational safety and health standards set by the United States Department of Labor under the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, effective from January 1, 1975, with the same force as Michigan's own rules until replaced or rescinded. It outlines when federal standards supersede state standards and mandates the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs to make these standards publicly available at cost. The bill requires the initiation of rule processing within 10 working days after a new federal standard is adopted, detailing criteria for establishing state standards in the absence of federal ones and specifying administrative procedures for rule implementation.
