What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Subject to certain exceptions, current law prohibits a minor from being

employed or permitted to work at any employment unless the minor's employer

obtains a written permit authorizing the employment of the minor. Subject to certain

exceptions, current law also prohibits a minor from being permitted to work at any

“street trade” unless 1) the minor's employer obtains a street trade permit; and 2) the

minor obtains an identification card. Street trade permits must contain certain

information but otherwise be in the same format as child labor permits. Such

permits are issued by the Department of Workforce Development or by certain other

permit officers designated by DWD.

This bill eliminates the requirements to obtain such permits and identification

cards for minors who are 16 years of age or older.

The bill also changes terminology in current law to refer to “the employment of

minors” instead of “child labor” and repeals an obsolete provision regarding certain

performances featuring children.
