On July 16, 2025, U.S. Representative Judy Chu and Senator Alex Padilla, along with other lawmakers, announced the introduction of the Asunción Valdivia Heat Illness, Injury, and Fatality Prevention Act. The legislation aims to create a federal workplace heat protection standard, addressing risks posed by extreme temperatures for workers.

The bill mandates that the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) establish regulations requiring paid breaks, access to water, and training on heat-related risks. Named after a California worker who died from heat exposure, the act has garnered support from over 250 organizations, highlighting the urgent need for safety measures in the face of rising temperatures.

Lawmakers pointed to increasing cases of heat-related illnesses and fatalities, emphasizing an obligation to protect workers across various industries, including agriculture and construction.
