Notes:
1) not yet signed by governor
2) it does not prohibit drinking water, it is aimed at prohibiting a local requirement for mandatory "work breaks" to drink or rest in shade-- OSHA already has worker protections along these lines and there may be some statewide regulation coming, but the main emphasis of this legislation is to prevent widely varying regulation from locality to locality.
