Florida Enacts Law Banning Local Heat Stress Protections, Repeals Living Wage Laws
May 4, 2024, 01:07 PM
In Florida, a new law has been enacted that prohibits local municipalities from implementing heat stress protections for outdoor workers. This legislation was influenced by lobbyists from the Florida Chamber of Commerce and prevents the enactment of measures such as rest breaks, access to water, and shade, which were being considered in Miami-Dade. The law also repeals existing living wage laws. Healthcare professionals have expressed concerns that this law could deter medical personnel from working in the state.
