Bill overview
This bill requires water breaks to be provided during sports events held on artificial turf fields, based on the local outside temperature. The schedule dictates the frequency of breaks needed to prevent overheating, ranging from every 10 minutes at 95 degrees Fahrenheit to every 30 minutes at 80 degrees Fahrenheit. If the temperature reaches 100 degrees Fahrenheit or higher, the event must be suspended, though it can be moved indoors. Violations may result in warnings and civil penalties.
