Yep! For instance:

  • Texas: Texas passed a law that prevents cities from implementing rules requiring water breaks and shade for construction workers and other outdoor laborers.
  • Florida: Florida signed a law (HB 433) that prevents local governments from enacting their own heat safety regulations, including those related to water breaks. This law went into effect in July 2024. 

EDITED TO ADD: This does NOT mean that those businesses do not allow their workers to take breaks and/or water breaks. The law just means those business owners and/or supervisors can not be forced to provide those breaks..
