Employee protections; wage and hour, health and safety, and mining safety provisions.

Summary

The bill tells Virginia’s labor commissioner, the Safety and Health Codes Board, and the Department of Energy to adopt state regulations that mirror existing federal wage, hour, occupational safety, and mine safety laws if those federal laws are weakened. It applies to any change that makes the federal protections less stringent, ensuring workers in Virginia continue to receive the same level of protection.
