Extreme Heat Economic Study Act of 2025

# Extreme Heat Economic Study Act of 2025 - Summary **What the Bill Would Do** The Extreme Heat Economic Study Act of 2025 would authorize a comprehensive study examining the economic impacts of extreme heat on the United States. If passed, it would require researchers or a government agency to analyze how extreme heat affects various sectors of the economy, businesses, workers, and communities. The bill is designed to gather data and insights about the financial costs associated with heat-related challenges, which could inform future policy decisions. **Who It Affects and Key Provisions** This bill would primarily affect policymakers, economists, and industries vulnerable to extreme heat impacts—including agriculture, construction, energy, manufacturing, and healthcare sectors. Workers in outdoor-intensive jobs could also be impacted by resulting policies.

The study would likely examine costs such as lost productivity, healthcare expenses, infrastructure damage, and adaptation expenses. While the bill itself doesn't impose new regulations or requirements on businesses, the findings could influence future legislation addressing climate resilience and worker protections. **Current Status** The bill is currently in committee, meaning it has been introduced but has not yet been debated or voted on by the full House of Representatives. It was sponsored by Representative Yassamin Ansari (D-AZ).
