Impact of Bill 398 to Kentucky OSHA Regulations: What Employers Need to Know

June 17, 2025 12:00 pm EST Free Webinar

Join FBT attorneys Kyle Johnson and Malik Luckett to learn more about House Bill 398, the impact on your operations and responsibilities, and measures to strengthen organizational compliance and safety. Kyle had the opportunity to testify in support of this bill and collaborated with the sponsor on its drafting and revisions. He regularly appears before state and federal courts and administrative agencies and provides his insight into legislation similar to House Bill 398.

On March 27, 2025, the Kentucky General Assembly passed House Bill 398 over a veto by Governor Beshear. This bill is a notable update to Kentucky’s Occupational Safety and Health Act and will transform how employers statewide ensure compliance with workplace safety and health regulations.  Among other things, HB 398 aims to align Kentucky’s occupational safety and health standards with federal standards and forbids state agencies from adopting safety and health standards for private employers that are more stringent that those imposed by Federal OSHA.
