“However, our amendment addresses those concerns, particularly the concern about an employer knowing exactly what his or her requirements are because we say that the rule shall set forth in clear terms the circumstances under which an employer is required to take action, the measures required of an employer under the standard, and the compliance obligation of an employer under the standard. We give the employers clear direction. We let them know when they are in compliance, and we clearly spell out what their obligations are and also the measures that are required. Under the requirements of our legislation, the rule has to come back and clarify to an employer exactly what is being required. I think the amendment is a good one; ergo, I think it should be adopted.”
