Heat Protection Act

An Act Mandating Protective Measures for the Prevention and Mitigation of Heat-Related Risks for Workers, Appropriating Funds Therefor, and for Other Purposes

In plain language

The Heat Protection Act would set up a real‑time heat‑index system and require employers to give outdoor workers more breaks, water, shade, and even pay extra when temperatures are dangerous. It also bans outdoor work when the heat index reaches 42 °C or higher, with fines for companies that do not follow the rules.
