    I’m all for this AS LONG AS IT INCLUDES PROVISIONS FOR TEMPERATURE CONTROLLED VS NOT. An office worker where there office is consistently between 68-72f should still go to work. A construction worker, gardener, road maintenance etc where they are out in the sun should totally be covered by this.

      It’s not just the workplaces, it’s the housing. I don’t want people driving to work sleep deprived after they’ve struggled to sleep in a hot bedroom all night. Especially not en masse.
