Madam Speaker, I yield myself the balance of my time. Madam Speaker, overbearing regulations burden workers and stifle the economy. Preventing workplace violence in healthcare and social service settings is crucial, and we should get this done by allowing OSHA to issue standards through the normal rulemaking process, which brings all experts and parties, including small businesses, to the table. Short-circuiting the process and rushing to a conclusion eliminates valuable technical and scientific input and will lead to unintended consequences, which could have a detrimental impact on workplace safety outcomes. A bipartisan solution was possible here, but once again, Democrats have kicked it to the curb. I urge a ``no'' vote on H.R. 1195, and I yield back the balance of my time.
