Senators Braun Send Letter To Labor Secretary Walsh Calling For Public Engagement

Senators Braun Letter To Labor Secretary Walsh Calling For Public Engagement Before New Overtime Rules

 WASHINGTON – Today, Senator Mike Braun (Ranking Member of the Subcommittee on Employment and Workplace Safety), Senator Richard Burr (Ranking Member of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions) and Representative Virginia Foxx (Ranking Member of the House Committee on Education and Labor) and Representative Fred Keller (Ranking Member of the Subcommittee on Workforce Protections) sent a letter to Department of Labor Secretary Marty Walsh calling for “robust public engagement” before proposing any new overtime pay requirements, which the Department of Labor has stated it intends to issue in April 2022.

The Members write:

“We write to request that the Department of Labor (DOL or Department) conduct robust public engagement prior to any Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) on overtime pay requirements. The Administrative Procedure Act recognizes the value of public participation in rulemaking, especially for rules that significantly affect the public. Given the past and present stakeholder interest in regulatory changes to overtime pay requirements, we request DOL conduct a Request for Information (RFI) and hold stakeholder meetings with the regulated community before commencing its process of writing an NPRM. Such steps will help DOL assess if changes are prudent and necessary at this time and gather information to better inform the substance and timing of any proposed changes.”

The letter goes on to question the need for overhauling the current overtime pay regulations, and emphasizes the need for public engagement with the employers and employees who will be affected by the changes before making them:

“The current overtime pay regulations were carefully developed with significant public input and at cost to the taxpayer. While DOL has stated its intention to issue an NRPM in April 2022, it is not evident that there is a real or pressing need to overhaul the current framework, which has only been in place for a scant two years. We, therefore, encourage the agency to engage first and foremost in an RFI process prior to developing new regulations.”

Regardless of the outcome of the Board of Trustee meeting, a press conference will follow in room UC 226-227 adjacent to Carter Hall in UC West. Available for comment will be USI President Ronald S. Rochon, USI Board of Trustees Chair Ronald Romain, and USI Athletic Director Jon Mark Hall. All questions should be held for the press conference.

EDITORIAL: CCO SUPPORTS USI MOVING FROM NCAA DIVISION II TO NCAA DIVISION I

0

CCO SUPPORTS USI MOVING FROM NCAA DIVISION II TO NCAA DIVISION I

by the City-County Observer Staff

The University of Southern Indiana (USI) campus on Evansville’s Westside has been transformed during the last few decades from a commuter campus to a fully equipped campus with state-of-the-art classrooms, advanced degrees, student housing, and a plethora of athletic facilities that are only exceeded by big nationally recognized programs. USI has an outstanding listing of successful graduates in our midst.

USI has always been competitive in every NCAA Division II intercollegiate that they participate in and starts most years with realistic visions of winning another national championship in multi-sports.

If the USI Trustees elevate the athletic teams to NCAA Division I, Evansville may become one of the smallest markets to have the distinction of being home to two Division I teams. That is a worthy distinction for the people down at “Visit Evansville” to tout as worth a visit.

We feel that the University of Southern Indiana is most certainly NCAA Division I ready as NKU, Bellarmine, or any of the other teams that have made the transition. From a facilities perspective, USI already has established an impressive collection of on-campus facilities that many NCAA Division I universities would love to have. Millions of dollars have been invested and much will be expected.

The City-County Observer would like to encourage USI to grab for the brass ring and become Evansville’s second NCCA Division I athletic program. This move will have positive impacts on campus life and even will serve to enhance academics and the future recruiting of student-athletes.

Go for it USI.  The alumni, student-athletes, coaching staff, faculty and staff, student body, and the people of our region will be proud that you did!

Finally, we would like to publicly recognize the efforts of the charismatic USI President Ronald S. Rochon, the visionary USI Board of Trustees Chair Ronald Romain and his board members, and USI Athletic Director Jon Mark Hall and his staff for the outstanding work they quietly did behind the scene to ensure that USI will be in a position to continue to provide our community with the educational, economic, cultural, and athletic offerings that will make us proud in years to come.

At Midpoint Of Indiana’s Legislative Session, Some 500 Bills Have Died

At Midpoint Of Indiana’s Legislative Session, Some 500 Bills Have Died

  • By Taylor Wooten, TheStatehouseFile.com

  • INDIANAPOLIS—As the Indiana General Assembly reaches the midpoint of the session, any bills that have not had third readings in the chamber they began in are now dead.

    Halfway through the Indiana General Assembly’s 2022 legislative session, some 500 bills have already been put to rest.

    Senate bills need to have reached the third reading in the Indiana Senate by Feb. 1, while House bills needed to have reached the third reading in the House by Jan. 31. You may take a moment of silence for about 500 bills, which have been voted down, pulled from the schedule, never made it out of committee or never even received a committee hearing.

    A total of about 200 Senate bills have died, and 300 House bills have died. The casket will close on the 2022 legislative session by March 14.

    Here we go again

    Some bills that are filed every year will have to be reborn again in the next session.

    For example, Senate Bill 75, a cold beer sales bill, has been attempted in various forms by Sen. Phillip Boots, R-Crawfordsville, for years. The bill has died again this year, so Boots may need to have another go at getting cold beer sold in grocery and convenience stores during the next session.

    The initiative to get marijuana legalized in Indiana will also have to wait, with all bills in the legislature that regulate, decriminalize, or legalize cannabis dying this session.

    The Senate Democrats released a statement on the failure of the legislature to pass marijuana legislation.

    “While nearly 40 other states are creating industries and jobs and using hundreds of millions in cannabis tax revenue on schools, mental health, crime prevention and drug recovery programs, Indiana is spending millions on policing, prosecuting and holding our communities back,” said Sen. Rodney Pol, D-Chesterton in the statement. “It’s past time for this legislature to listen to the vast majority of its constituents and make progress on cannabis reform.”

    Conflicting legislation

    Many bills in the legislature cover the same topic, but with different partisan perspectives. In the Indiana General Assembly’s Republican supermajority, the bills that align with Indiana Republican wishes have strangled their opposition.

    Bail was a point of contention, with a bill seeking to get rid of pre-trial bail for nonviolent misdemeanor arrests dying while a Republican-authored bill limiting charitable bail organizations is still trucking.

    Two bills authored by Democrats, Senate Bill 71 and Senate Bill 221, sought to remove absentee voting restrictions and requirements. Both of these bills have been killed by the legislature, but a bill restricting mail-in absentee ballots by Rep. Tim Wesco, R-Osceola, has passed in the House and is headed to the Senate.

    In response to the midpoint of the session, Senate Minority Leader Greg Taylor, D-Indianapolis, released a statement.

    “I have mixed feelings about where we are at this point,” Taylor said. “We’ve seen a mashup of legislation pass out of the Senate: some good, some bad and some very bad.”

    Some Indiana Black Legislative Caucus priorities fail

    Several anti-discrimination bills, many authored by lawmakers within the Indiana Black Legislative Caucus, also died this session. Among the dead bills are one requiring implicit bias training for employers and one that would outlaw race-based hair discrimination.

    House Bill 1414, the bill that would remove the requirement for pre-trial bail, is by IBLC member Rep. Ragen Hatcher, D-Gary.

    Two bills that would create safer conditions for incarcerated women and change the use of restraints on pregnant, delivering or post-partum incarcerated women failed this year. House Bill 1272 was authored by Rep. Renee Pack, D-Indianapolis, and House Bill 1179 was authored by Vanessa Summers, D-Indianapolis. Both were legislative priorities for the IBLC.

    Lawmakers will have the opportunity to rework and resurrect some of these bills beginning this fall when bills can begin to be filed for the 2023 legislative session.
