“I thank the Member for yielding and including my two amendments in this package. My first amendment directs OSHA to implement an emergency temporary standard to protect employees, employers, and customers from COVID-19. In these chaotic times, standards will provide that predictability we need. Without these enforceable standards, we can't take that responsibility to reopen in a safe and effective way. My second amendment: Health and Human Services must create comprehensive national testing and tracing for childcare centers. Essential employees are hard at work. Millions want to get back to work. Yet, childcare providers can't do the job they need to do to be safe. A national testing strategy and contact tracing standard will help safely reopen these childcare centers. It is what our economy needs. It is what our kids need and, certainly, what our parents need. I urge my colleagues to support these amendments, and I thank the chairman, once again, for his years of service.”
