Arizona Congressman Rep. Andy Biggs has reintroduced a bill that seeks to abolish the OSHA.
Biggs had introduced a similar bill into the House in November 2021. It failed.
Biggs' bill, titled the Nullify the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (NOSHA) Act, states: "The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 is repealed. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration is abolished."
In a press release published on Sunday, February 2, 2025, Biggs said: "OSHA's existence is yet another example of the federal government creating agencies to address issues that are more appropriately handled by state governments and private employers.
OSHA is a federal agency part of the Department of Labor that was established by the Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) Act, which was signed into law by President Nixon on December 29, 1970.
“The federal government has expanded far beyond what our founders intended. President Trump, Elon Musk, and congressional Republicans must be dedicated to shrinking the size of the government and ensuring that taxpayer dollars are utilized as efficiently as possible,” said, Rep. Biggs in a statement about the reintroduction of the NOSHA Act. “America voted for major government reform, and Congress must be ready to deliver President Trump’s agenda.”
