    That was faster than I expected. Especially since the law isn’t even in effect yet. Sept 1 according to Texas Tribune.

      the article doesnt mention the nature of any of the deaths and dont actually say its because they were denied water breaks. it just says these deaths happened after the law was signed into place. a few of the deaths were actually not work related at all

      though it does speculate that it must be because of the heat

        While I’m appalled this bill exists as a fellow southerner sweating in this heat, the o my deaths mentions that could have possibly happened due to denial were the lineman and the post delivery person. But it’s isn’t explicitly stated.
