Making Emergency Temporary Standards Permanent
 

This pandemic is far from over. Even with vaccines, it will take a long time to build immunity in the population, and strong workplace safety protections will continue to be needed. I support the state's commitment and need to ensure strong protections that workers have now under the emergency standard remain in place in the permanent standard. The ETS is a strong standard and should be made permanent and is needed by all workers.
