Florida Workplace Bills for Employers to Watch During the 2024 Legislative Session
Florida’s 2024 regular legislative session runs from January 9 through March 8, 2024, and is one to watch for employers. Dozens of workplace bills have been filed. If passed, three sets of these bills may have a particularly significant impact across many industries. Child labor bills would largely remove work restrictions for sixteen- and seventeen-year-olds, workplace heat exposure bills may add stringent requirements for Florida employers, and bills related to gender identity and biological sex could create new causes of action and might be challenged as contrary to federal law.
