This bill, the Correctional Facilities Occupational Safety and Health Act of 2023, aims to enhance coverage and oversight of occupational safety and health standards in correctional facilities. The key provisions of the bill include: 1. Defining "correctional facility" and including incarcerated workers under the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, requiring states to ensure that public agencies or private entities operating correctional facilities submit annual reports on workplace safety and health conditions. 2. Amending the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 to require states and units of local government that receive certain grants to submit annual reports on workplace safety and health conditions in correctional facilities, as well as incentivizing states to enact protections for incarcerated workers. 3. Establishing a grant program at the Department of Labor to assist states in amending their occupational safety and health laws to cover incarcerated workers and enforce those laws through inspections, investigations, citations, and penalties.
