The House Subcommittee on Workforce Protections has passed three amendments to the Occupational Safety and Health Act on three party-line votes, with all the Republicans on the committee voting in favor of the amendments and all the Democrats voting against them.
The amendments will be considered in September by the House Committee on Education and the Workforce, where again they are expected to pass on party-line votes. None of the measures has been introduced in the Senate, and opponents of the measures are hopeful that the bills will die for lack of any action by the Senate.
