Under that authority, DWD has, by rule, prohibited all minors from being employed in certain duties related to the operation of power-driven bakery machines. This bill requires DWD to allow minors 16 years of age or older to operate a pizza-dough roller in the course of employment if certain safety standards are met and the minor does not set up, adjust, repair, oil, or clean the pizza-dough roller.
