(“PolyMet”) is anticipated to comply with the terms of its synthetic minor source permit. |

For years advocates for collegiate athletes’ rights have argued that there should be compensation allowed for their participation in intercollegiate athletics. At the very least these advocates have insisted that the athletes should be able to benefit from the use of their name, image, and likeness (NIL). In September 2019, California enacted the first law granting NIL rights to collegiate athletes with an effective date of July 1, 2021. A month later the NCAA Board of Governors unanimously agreed it was time to address its NIL regulations. Subsequently, 27 states have joined in enacting NIL legislation, including 15 that have become effective since July 1. The remaining dozen will become effective between now and 2023. Three other states have pending bills with a similar focus. |

On June 10, 2021, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (“OSHA”) announced an action OSHA has not taken in 38 years: issuing an Emergency Temporary Standard (“ETS”). This ETS aims to protect “healthcare and healthcare support service workers from occupational exposure to COVID-19 in settings where people with COVID-19 are reasonably expected to be present.” The ETS does not go into effect until publication in the Federal Register, which has not yet occurred but appears imminent (OSHA has submitted the ETS to the Office of the Federal Register for publication and codification in 29 CFR 1910 Subpart U). The text of the ETS, as submitted to the Office of the Federal Register, is available here. OSHA also launched a website with resources regarding the ETS. |
