Proposal Allows Cal/OSHA to Sidestep Fiscal Review

Workplace rules would be allowed to skip past critical analysis of their fiscal and other effects if legislation pending before the Assembly becomes law.

SB 410 (Leyva; D-Chino)opposed by the California Chamber of Commerce, seeks to exempt Cal/OSHA regulations from analysis that gives policymakers, the regulated community and the public access to a thorough economic analysis of the effects of proposed rules.
