ALERRT Act of 2014

Feb. 27, 2014 | H.R. 2804
The Achieving Less Excess in Regulation and Requiring Transparency Act (ALERRT) combined four measures, all of which were designed to stop, delay, or weaken new protections. The Regulatory Accountability Act (RAA) is the most far-reaching of these measures, overriding requirements of landmark legislation such as the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) and the Mine Safety and Health Act (MSHA). Its primary goal was limiting costs and the impact on businesses and corporations; protections for workers and the general public were a distant second. Rather than improving the regulatory process, this package would cripple it by further tilting the process in favor of business groups and making it more difficult to protect the health and safety of workers and the public. The bill passed.

This is Bad for working people.
