The bill went through multiple amendment cycles in the 2023-2024 session and later in\u00a0the 2025-2026 sessions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why the Bill Stalled: <\/strong>One stated reason the TEMP Act didn&#8217;t advance in the 2023-2024 session was the existence of a proposed federal OSHA heat standard. Opposition memos stated that the federal rule being proposed by OSHA would preempt state action, with many legislators and stakeholders asking why the state should act if the federal government was already moving. With the Trump administration taking office in January 2025 and the OSHA rule widely expected to be shelved, the case for state action became significantly stronger.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Specific Opposition: <\/strong>The most organized opposition has come from the business community including major corporate actors like Amazon and major corporate airlines.<\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-789 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/protectworkersfromheat.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/NY-TEMP-2-251x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"251\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/protectworkersfromheat.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/NY-TEMP-2-251x300.png 251w, https:\/\/protectworkersfromheat.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/NY-TEMP-2-10x12.png 10w, https:\/\/protectworkersfromheat.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/NY-TEMP-2.png 378w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 251px) 100vw, 251px\" \/>Where the Bill Stands Now: <\/strong>Legislation did not advance in the 2026 session but will be re-introduced in 2027. Meanwhile, a major parallel development: Mayor Zohran Mamdani signed Executive Order No. 17 on June 22, 2026, the first-ever worker heat protection order in NYC&#8217;s history, directing a whole-of-government response that included mandatory extreme heat plans for 300,000 municipal employees. The order was developed in partnership with the TEMP Coalition, NYCOSH, 32BJ SEIU, and dozens of labor unions and community organizations.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>First Introduction of the TEMP Act (2023): The bill that became the TEMP Act was introduced by Sen.
