The Obama administration may be on its way out, but much of its regulatory legacy could remain intact. What pending or new regulations should be high on your construction company’s radar screen in the new year? What are the chances of President-elect Trump rolling back the last eight years of regulations?
During this webinar, AGC’s Regulatory Counsel Jimmy Christianson and construction law attorney Michael Branca with Peckar & Abramson will address these questions for construction contractors across the industry—whether private building, transportation, utility or federal contractors. The webinar will provide an overview of and outlook for the 2017 regulatory landscape, touching on:
- The U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s Silica Rule and Injury and Illness Record Keeping Rule (Impacting Employer Drug Testing Procedures)
- The U.S. Department of Labor’s Overtime Rule
- The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Waters of the United States (WOTUS) Rule and Construction General Permit for stormwater discharges
