## Summary

**This bill would extend Occupational Safety and Health Act coverage to public employees.** It amends the Act to include employees of the United States, a State, or a political subdivision of a State and phases implementation so workplaces in jurisdictions without an OSHA-approved State plan have 36 months before the changes apply. - Workers: Federal, state, and local government employees would gain the Act's safety protections and enforcement mechanisms. - States without approved State plans: Workplaces in those jurisdictions would have a 36-month delayed effective date. - State programs: The bill preserves existing State plan authority and enforcement under section 18 of the OSH Act.
