Bill > S1492

This bill creates a new section of the Florida Statutes (Section 448.106) that prohibits political subdivisions, such as counties and municipalities, from requiring employers to meet or provide heat exposure requirements beyond those required by state or federal law. The bill also prohibits political subdivisions from giving preference to or considering an employer's heat exposure requirements in a competitive solicitation process. The bill provides some exceptions, such as allowing political subdivisions to establish heat exposure requirements for their own direct employees and allowing for compliance with federal funding requirements. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2024.
