What I find crazy is, they acknowledge we are headed into probably the hottest season Texas has ever seen. And they pass this claiming OSHA should cover this sort of thing.....okay, and in the mean time?? From the time this goes into effect and the time OSHA says anything about this, how many people will be denied a water break because "the law doesn't say you get one anymore". I'd argue that this law ENCOURGES employers to do the minimum of absolutely nothing.
