Michael Enzi Voluntary Protection Program Act of 2025

# Michael Enzi Voluntary Protection Program Act of 2025 (HR 2844) **What the Bill Does** This bill would expand and modify the Voluntary Protection Program (VPP), an existing Department of Labor initiative that recognizes employers who demonstrate exemplary workplace safety practices. The bill is named after former Senator Michael Enzi of Wyoming. While the specific provisions aren't detailed in the summary provided, the bill focuses on administrative procedures and regulatory changes related to how this safety program operates. **Who It Affects** The bill primarily affects employers who participate in or wish to join the VPP, as well as their workers.

The Department of Labor would also be impacted as the agency responsible for administering the program. In general, any business interested in achieving recognition for strong safety records could be affected by changes to the program's requirements or processes. **Current Status** As of now, HR 2844 is in committee, meaning it has been referred to the appropriate House committee for review and discussion but has not yet been voted on by the full House of Representatives. The bill was introduced by Representative Diana Harshbarger (R-TN).
