MI SB1335

Incorporates federal Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) standards effective January 1, 1975 by reference into Michigan law with the same force as state-promulgated rules.

Requires the director to initiate processing of administrative rules substantially similar to new federal OSHA standards within 10 working days of federal adoption, beginning April 1, 1992.

Prohibits processing of proposed state occupational safety and health standards that address matters not covered by federal standards unless the director determines there is a "clear and convincing need" supported by specific facts.

Requires the director to demonstrate either unique characteristics of Michigan industry or broad consensus from union and nonunion employers and employees when establishing the clear and convincing need for state-only standards.

Conditional effective date: Act becomes effective only if House Bills 5917 and 5922, and Senate Bill 1336 are all enacted into law.
