promulgating, or enforcing regulations -- Exemption for public employees. The Kentucky Occupational Safety and Health Standards board, the secretary, the secretary's designee, the commissioner, and the commissioner's authorized representative shall not adopt, promulgate, or enforce any occupational safety and health administrative regulation that the Occupational Safety and Health Administration or the United States Department of Labor has not promulgated, or that is more stringent than the corresponding federal provision enforced by the United States Department of Labor under the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970. Whereas the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 does not apply to public employees, the cabinet shall retain the authority to promulgate and enforce, as necessary, administrative regulations pertaining to public employees.
