On the recordNovember 21, 2019
I thank the gentleman from California (Mr. Harder) for yielding. Again, I want to salute his amendment. For the record, there is no prohibition built into OSHA that you can't have dual jurisdiction, in terms of criminal investigations or prosecutions from injuries in any setting that OSHA covers. However, I still applaud the Member for just sort of foot-stomping this point to make sure that because so many of these incidents involve assault, there is absolutely a clear signal that there is no hindrance or obstacle. Again, for that purpose, I certainly strongly support the amendment and urge its adoption.
