Prohibiting the Department of Labor's Secret Rule Act of 2008

H.R. 6660 was introduced to block a specific Department of Labor proposal that would have changed how the government assesses health risks in the workplace. The bill aimed to prevent the Department from implementing new requirements for measuring employee exposure to toxic substances and hazardous chemicals. If passed, the legislation would have maintained existing safety standards by prohibiting the executive branch from adopting more restrictive methods for calculating occupational health risks.
