The breaks are scheduled every 30 minutes at 80 degrees Fahrenheit, every 20 minutes at 85 degrees, every 15 minutes at 90 degrees, and every 10 minutes at 95 degrees or higher. Events must be suspended if the temperature reaches 100 degrees Fahrenheit, unless moved indoors. Violators face a written warning for the first offense and a $100 civil penalty for subsequent offenses.
