What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, subject to certain exceptions, a minor under 14 years of age may not be permitted to work in any gainful occupation at any time and a minor who is permitted to work must first obtain a permit authorizing the employment of the minor (work permit). Current law, however, permits a minor to sing, play, or perform in any theatrical or musical exhibition, concert, or festival without first obtaining a work permit if the activity is not detrimental to the life, health, safety, or welfare of the minor and does not interfere with the minor's schooling and, if the minor is under 16 years of age, a parent or guardian accompanies the minor, but current law generally prohibits the employment or appearance of any minor in a roadhouse, cabaret, dance hall, night club, tavern, or other similar place.
This bill permits a minor to present musical entertainment or perform in a theatrical performance in a roadhouse, cabaret, dance hall, night club, tavern, or similar place before 10:00 p.m. on a day not preceding a school day or before 9:00 p.m.
