The proposal would prevent the Department of Labor from creating or enforcing new workplace safety rules designed to protect workers from heat-related injuries and illnesses. This would affect employers in industries like construction, agriculture, and outdoor work, as well as the workers in those fields who could face heat exposure risks. The bill is currently under review by a Senate committee.
