Recent Developments

• In February 2025, Rep. Andy Biggs, a Republican Congressman from Arizona, has reintroduced a bill to abolish the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), arguing that safety and health issues should be managed by states and private employers rather than the federal government. Biggs views OSHA as part of an overly expansive federal government, asserting that states have the constitutional right to implement their own health and safety measures. This move comes amid efforts by President Trump and Elon Musk to reduce the size of the federal government, with an emphasis on curbing the power of agencies like OSHA.
