Pursuant to Senate Concurrent Resolution 63, which was passed by both the House and Senate last session, the Board of Coal Mine Health and Safety has been meeting weekly to develop mine safety rules governing the movement of mining equipment by June 2nd that will implement the updated provisions of Senate Bill 357.
The Resolution instructed the Board to review the Title 36, Series 4 Regulation to insure any revisions to the rule are protective and consistent with the changes to 22A-2-6 by SB 357. A proposed working draft rule that provides for the protections and requirements of the revised statute will be considered at the next meeting of the Board. The Board is made up of three industry and three labor representatives, with the Director of the Office of Miners’ Health, Safety & Training serving in an ex officio capacity.
