Relates to prohibition of certain activities in extreme temperatures
Bill A 5064 prohibits retail businesses from requiring employees to engage in "human billboard" activities - such as holding signs or wearing advertising clothing outside stores - when outdoor temperatures reach 90°F or higher. This directly affects retail employees working outdoors in hot conditions, particularly during heatwaves. The law applies to businesses selling consumer goods like clothing, electronics, or groceries, banning such outdoor advertising activities only when temperatures exceed 90°F. The bill takes immediate effect and aims to protect workers from heat exposure during promotional tasks.
