What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, with certain employment exceptions, no minor under 16

years of age may work before 7:00 a.m. or after 7:00 p.m. from the day after Labor

Day to May 31, or before 7:00 a.m. or after 9:00 p.m. from June 1 to Labor Day. These

work hour requirements are consistent with federal law.

This bill expands the permissible work hours a minor under 16 years of age may

work to not before 6:00 a.m. or after 9:30 p.m. on a day preceding a school day, and

not before 6:00 a.m. or after 11:00 p.m. on a day preceding a nonschool day, when the

minor is working for an employer that is not covered by the federal Fair Labor

Standards Act, and whose employees are not covered by the federal Fair Labor

Standards Act. Minors under 16 years of age who are employed after 10:00 p.m. must

receive at least eight consecutive hours of rest from the end of one shift to the

beginning of the next shift.
