A Democratic lead House subcommittee has proposed a large budget increase for both the Occupational Safety and Health Administration and the Mine Safety and Health Administration.
Seyfarth Synopsis: A Democratic
lead House subcommitteehas proposeda large budget
increase for both the Occupational Safety and Health Administration
and the Mine Safety and Health Administration.
The Democratic budget proposal would allocate more than $660.9
million for OSHA in fiscal year 2020 – around $103 million
more than the Trump administration's proposed budget for
the Agency. The White House's proposal had OSHA slated for a
small increase over its $557.2 million FY 2019 budget.
Additionally, MSHA would be allocated almost $417.3 million
– around $41.3 million more than the White House's
proposal – under the draft bill. MSHA had a $373.8 million
budget in FY 2019.
If approved, these new budgets would substantially increase OSHA
and MSHA's enforcement capabilites. We will keep an eye on this
as it moves through Committee.
