Quick Glance: States Look to Relax Some Child Labor Laws in the Face of a Tight Market
- The Youth Hiring Act, which was passed this week, eliminated the requirement for businesses to obtain a work permit from the Department of Labor and Licensing if they wanted to hire a child under the age of 16.
- Opponents claimed that the bill removes a layer of protection that required parental consent for a child to work and ensured that the hours worked did not violate federal child labor laws.
- Last year, New Jersey, New Hampshire, and Illinois passed laws allowing minors to work longer hours or relaxing requirements.
- "Employers are interested in getting more people available to work for more hours," said Matthew Bodie, a law professor at the University of Minnesota.
