Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has signed a law that prevents cities or counties from creating protections for workers who labor in the state's often extreme and dangerous heat.
Two million people in Florida, from construction to agriculture, work outside in often humid, blazing heat.
For years, many of them have asked for rules to protect them from heat: paid rest breaks, water, and access to shade when temperatures soar. After years of negotiations, such rules were on the agenda in Miami-Dade County, home to an estimated 300,000 outdoor workers.
But the new law, signed Thursday evening, blocks such protections from being implemented in cities and counties across the state.
