This bill
includes ongoing Federal Expenditures Fund allocations of $400,000 per year
beginning in fiscal year 2014-15 to the Regulation and Enforcement program
within the Department of Labor for the costs associated with the Bureau of
Labor Standards conducting public sector consultation and enforcement
services. |
|
This legislation
will conform current Maine law regarding enforcement of workplace safety to
federal law and allow for the State to become eligible to receive a federal
grant of up to $400,000 per year for the cost of providing public sector
enforcement and consultation services. The Bureau currently provides these
services utilizing funds in the Safety Education and Training Fund, Other
Special Revenues Funds account, which is funded through an annual assessment
levied based on actual workers' compensation paid losses. |
