Chai Suthammanont Remembrance Act of 2021
This bill requires federal agencies to develop and disclose safety plans that contain certain information for on-site employees and contractors during the public health emergency relating to COVID-19 (i.e., coronavirus disease 2019).
Specifically, the bill requires each agency to post a safety plan on its website that includes descriptions of (1) the personal protective equipment that the agency will provide to its on-site employees and contractors; (2) protections for employees whose work requires them to travel off-site; (3) testing, contact-tracing, and vaccination protocols; and (4) protocols that ensure the continuity of operations in the event it is necessary to reverse on-site requirements.
Each agency's Office of the Inspector General must report on whether the agency has published and implemented its safety plan.
DeSaulnier asked unanimous consent that the ordering of the yeas and nays on the motion that the House suspend the rules and pass the bill H.R. 978 be vacated, to the end that the motion be considered as withdrawn. Agreed to without objection.
