AN ACT relating to occupational safety and health. 1 
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Kentucky: 2 
Section 1.   KRS 338.062 is amended to read as follows: 3 
After July 1, 2021, neither the Kentucky Occupational Safety and Health Standards 4 
Board nor the secretary shall adopt,[ or] promulgate, or enforce any occupational safety 5 
and health administrative regulation that is more stringent than the corresponding federal 6 
provision enforced by the United States Department of Labor under the Occupational 7 
Safety and Health Act of 1970. Whereas the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 8 
does not apply to public employees, the cabinet shall retain the authority to promulgate 9 
and enforce, as necessary, administrative regulations pertaining to public employees. 10
