“Reclaiming my time, that example is a situation, and OSHA came in and testified before the committee and told you that has been addressed, that OSHA has a zero tolerance now for those situations. They do not fine people for failing to have something posted in a first-time violation and had put in fact a policy; we had agency after agency come in before us and tell us that they are moving in that direction. The fact of the matter is, we are waiting on the reports on the SBREFA to see what the policies are and what the effect is. The majority on the committee got anxious and went forward with this bill before they even found out what the information was. That is not appropriate here. Your own party has raised some very important issues here. Mr. Chairman, I would ask my colleagues to support the amendment. It does, in fact, help small businesses. We can all be on the same page here, and we ought it be.”
