From KERA:
Construction worker Mario Ontiveros is facing a wave of dangerous heat, with temperatures well into the 90s and extreme humidity.
Because he works in Dallas, a local ordinance gives him the right to at least a 10-minute rest break every four hours. But this is the last summer he’ll get to claim it.
On Tuesday, Gov. Greg Abbott signed HB 2127 — the Texas Regulatory Consistency Act — which bars cities and counties from passing regulations that are stricter than state ones. It also overturns local rules such as ordinances in Austin and Dallas that mandate rest breaks for construction workers. [emphasis added]
