Bill > HB803

This bill proposes to fully repeal Kentucky Revised Statute (KRS) 338.062, which currently addresses occupational safety and health standards. The specific statute that would be eliminated dealt with safety and health standards that were previously capped at federal levels and included an exemption for public employees. By repealing this specific statute, the bill would remove existing legal language that governed certain occupational safety and health regulations in Kentucky. The repeal is scheduled to take effect on February 14, 2025. While the government-provided summary and bill text do not elaborate on the specific reasons for the repeal or its potential impacts, the action suggests a legislative intent to modify or eliminate certain existing workplace safety guidelines in the state.
