What this bill would do

This bill is called the Public Service Worker Protection Act. It changes the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 to expand workplace safety coverage to public employees. This means the rules will now cover workers employed by the United States, a State, or a political subdivision of a State. The main rules take effect 90 days after the bill is enacted. However, there is a special exception giving States and political subdivisions without an approved State plan 36 months to comply.
