Summary Establishes a defense against the enforcement of occupational regulations in any administrative or judicial proceeding. The individual asserting the defense must prove by clear and convincing evidence that the occupational regulation substantially burdens his or her right to pursue a lawful occupation. If the individual does so, the state or political subdivision must demonstrate that it has an important interest in protecting against present and recognizable harm to the public health or safety.

Upcoming Hearings

Last Action [1/31/2018] Read Second Time (H)

Comments [Mark, 2/6/2018 9:23 AM] This bill has the potential for way too many unintended consequences that may ultimately make it harder to protect workers. The burden, while appearing to be initially on the individual, the burden of proof on them is actually quite low. The greater burden of proof falls on the State or political subdivision, which has a much greater burden, with several strict requirements needed to prove that the occupational regulation is needed.
